Whilst the DTR forks are floppy as anything
Thanks 🙂
Hahha, I rode a stock DTR the other day, that front fork is WAY too soft, even without luggage, will need stiffer springs and prolly heavier oil.
Also the front brake was lacking stopping power, so if I'm going the DTR forks it will be with the X caliper and preferably biggers discs.
But I'm finding different hubs with diff brake disc patterns, so need to work that out.
ANother solution is fork swap, thinking YZ 89-90 but not sure how much of an improvement that is.
And recently I'm also thinking if a DTR might be a better base, see my question above about the rear top rack.
Becuase luggage would be blocking the tail light of the X.
