Heres a piccy of one on my XTR at Snetterton, did a 2.5k mile england trip mostly fully loaded then another 4k odd miles on the rear, but squared off so had to change.



Also they make good water paddles!!!!

Well my Distanzias have arrived from Busters and I will be getting them fitted on Saturday. Had a play with suspension settings and after setting them initially to soft I have ramped up the settings alot stiffer and it has made a good difference overall. Rear is set ar 6 of 9 and the fronts almost at maximum.

Just got to set the pressures on the Avons up and hopefully happy days.

Tony, don't forget to remove the rubber from your footpegs! It makes the word of difference. 60 seconds with an allen bolt is all it takes

Yep I have not forgotten. I am making incremental changes, tyres are next, then tyre pressures, then peg rubbers. I have got the suspension about right. I may even take the Z off road this weekend and get muddy. If I do then the peg rubbers will be off just before then!
