That Nitron shock should work out very nicely on the FZ1. Several members here are using that shock (as you probably know).

Very nice!!! That will help a LOT with the rear. :tup:
I know about Ballmead, but I'm glad other people also think it's good. I'm going to try to install it myself tomorrow evening. What better for a friday evening, than some german micro-brewery beer, and some quality time with my bikeThat Nitron shock should work out very nicely on the FZ1.

Eric, try different oil weights in each leg. I think Duken4vr recommended 10wt on the compression side to reduce the high speed compression and 5wt on the rebound side. Mixing both to get 7 wt has worked well for a few folks too.

With my Partshark order, I should be able to get underway with the fork rebuild soon. Undecided if I want to do this on the weekend or do it on the week nights and not commute for a few days until I've finished. My first USD fork build so I want to be slow, precise and deliberate plus document and photograph it for the DIY here.
Glad to see more of you all going out hunting Penkse! (Or any better rear shock) The ride difference is incredible. I knew it would be good, I didn't expect an almost totally new experience. Awesome guys!!! :Rockon:
How much do you estimate the fork rebuild to cost? (if you don't mind me asking) I'll need to do that too. I'll need stiffer springs and the heavier weight oil.
Thanks for all your documentation and instruction. I'm glad it made such an improvement. It makes me want it more!
hold on there cowboy you forgot one very important detail.................. clean the damn bike!!!!
