E_en though some of us ha_e 94 F2 forks or F3 forks, or F3 uppers on F2 lowers doesn't mean we ha_e full adjustability. There is only one clicking adjustment on them, I guess its rebound/compression together. Now, my 08 cbr 1000 has clicker on top AND clicker on the bottom of the forks so those are full adjustable. And of course spring preload. Sorry about the blank spaces, the letter between C and B on my keyboard dont work, so fill in the blanks.lol

Oh yeh, just finish loading all my crap. Heading to Summit Point for two days, Shenandoah Circuit 22 turns in 2.2 miles. Its a blast. Hard to put all those turns together. Summit Main 10 turns in 2 miles. Pretty fast track. Its also a blast. I can redline 6th down the front straight with -1 front sprocket, stock rear. Front straight is a great place to rest. That sounds facked up, resting going 150ish mph, but I do. Any way I'll post when I get back about the Fox Shock Experience!

Yeah, for sure, I should have used the phrase "more adustability" since what I mean by "full adjustability", with these older forks, is just having anything more than just preload!! I'm gonna steer noobs wrong by using improper nomenclature!!

The "clicking" adjustment you're referring to is for rebound dampening - unfortunately, there is no compression dampening available, even on the F3s. And though I'm fuzzy on which years do what, to make sure I don't confuse anyone, they don't all have the "clicking" feature: '95 and '96 give you a "clicking" when you adjust the rebound, but '97 and '98 do not...though it might be the other way around - a seasoned F3 guy could clear that up.

Lucky devil... The front straight at HPT is only 1700 ft. long

Fox shock kicks ***. Had a blast. Wasnt alot of people there. Weather forecast called for 90% chance of rain Sunday at Shenandoah. It sprinkled the whole way there then quit. Didnt rain again til 4:45, 15 min before the track day was over. Monday at Summit Main hot and Sunny. My lap times are about 1:27/1:28 which is respectable for v7 vintage racing these old f2's, Dylan Scott figgin lap me, he passed me on the 2nd or 3rd lap then passed me again before the 15min session was over. He is one of Motorcycle Xcitement coaches plus he's been doing some kind of street racing on Ireland, kinda like Isle of Man. Dam he's fast. Nice as hell soft spoken guy. Rides the wheels off a motorcycle!
