 Im a happy bear As you all know i was hoping to get rid of my 888s for some boxxers .. well i havent got rid of the 888s yet but i have some spangily new 07 boxxer teams attached to the bike now !!! They are totally dif to the 8s, made the headangle slacker but not too slack. With the 2" drop crown they run sweet as. Piccys as and when i can find my camera !

Nice, but surely you mean "steaper but not too steap" sounds cool. I've heard good thinks about the 06+ boxxer teams. I'd be interested too see how much they've improved since mine. Get some pics up.

Yours will be steeper which is good because your 888's made the Balfa super shit to handle.

They ride shit loads better than the 888s, as said before they've totally changed the angles on the bike. The adjustment of compression, floodgate and rebound are great, a few clicks make a huge difference to the forks but ive got them set to how i like them at the mo but they may need a few more tweeks.
Here you go ...

Looking pimp, your running the brake hose the wrong side of the forks though Cubby. How much they set you back I'm getting more and more drawn to the darkside.
