Anyway, iam just stating what i feel hoping it will help you guys make decisions when buying products from Thailand. In fact iam very angry with YSS because they failed to customised a shock for my Sonic full motard conversion on time. Anyway the bike came in 2nd in a competition and so they loose out in publicity.

Akront> Faizal was telling me about this Sonic Motard you are building. I've got pics of a Raider 150cc Motard in a Thai magazine I bought the last time I was in Phuket but I'm yet to see a similar bike made from a Sonic. Can't wait to see the pics and I hope you will be able to post them up online for us to drool over.

Thanks,

C.

Apparently the cheap inverted forks have stiction problems. Unless you get from some other well made bike. dunno what bike though. Maybe the KSR110 forks can be modified to fit.

it's possible they could be too short for both the Sonic and the Raider. Have to get someone to measure the length. If similar then it shouldn't be too hard.

[Gresini]

based on height sonic is 941mm, Raider 960mm & KSR 996mm. lookin at their trail, handlebar & rims size, KSR fork should be longer. Rings any bell? Anyone?

 

Sonic...........

Sonic...........

Good picture comparison. I think it might just work.

Best to go to SpeedZone and measure the actual fork tube to wheel mounting point distance.

[Axxis]

Now I'm wondering if you can mount the whole KSR front end on the Sonic and put a set of wide style dirt bars.

COOL!

[Gresini]

Basis fork diameter, triple clamp n yoke need to replaced too, n it should weighs alot more den stock. rear need raise n replacement for balanced suspending. All the best to yr project.

[Axxis]

Also gotta take note that the brake is on the wrong side!

[Gresini]

I think dis d best i can help...

SPILTED POSTED FM A DAMPER DISCUSSION THREAD

 

to install aftermarket dampers are sort of a 'trend' these days for kupkias cos as we all know , our standard dampers are just too soft . There are actually 2 kinds of dampers to choose from when you want to consider on having an aftermarket one . 1- damper with canister 2- dampers without canister . Leading brands in the damper business are showa and ohlins afaik . Normally used by big bikes but brands such as mitoX and G@zi would be sufficient for our kups since we dun want to be spending $400 dollars or even more for a damper like showa and ohlins . Price range for a respectable damper (e.g G@zi is $180 with canister) . These canister often hold high pressure gas to mediate the movements of the damper . Almost all aftermarket dampers can be adjusted by the rider in preference of the height of the damper and some of these dampers which comes with canisters allow the rider to adjust the hardness or softness of the damper . But some of the aftermarket dampers found in j.b. which comes with canisters are just for show cos these canisters dun have anything inside . Surely you'll need to fork out a bit more money for the quality you ask for and i must say , going for a good damper is a good investment . you surely won't want to be bouncing along your way through a corner with a soft damper . you be the judge , its your money afterall ... cheers!

damper and shock are different, so are the usage.
