Well everything went to plan…. almost…… well sort of.

We started out at the Diner on May 4th Square and indulged ourselves with their fine English/North American breakfasts, after which we rode to the TV tower for a spot of riding and a bit of a photo shoot. The original photographer couldn’t make it, but luckily we had RJ to hand (cheers mate).

Here are just a few of the photos taken enjoy!

Yes, that’s right we’ve bagged our selves a couple of ‘Improved’ Kowa 160ss forks to test. They won’t be available until after the 21st March, and we have no idea as to what the improvements might be (Stronger was the word used, but stronger chassis or more competitive product we’re not sure) but we can’t wait for them to arrive!

We’ve been pretty impressed with the current 160ss up to now (report to come) so an ‘Improved’ model sounds excellent!

What we would like to see is a regular/readily available disc mount (the current model uses a Boxxer mount), maybe a shorter chassis and possibly some sort of compression adjust (internal or external).

Only time will tell!
