[QUOTE="fatcaaat, post: 152807, member: 1656"] So I added the vertical steering damper onto the pogo front end...and wow, what a difference! Other than the fact that you only get a mere 3 inches of travel on the front, the stabilizer turns the pogo stick into a fully dampened and rebounded experience. And it has 12 clicks of adjustment, so you can make it super stiff or very plush...it makes the pogo front end as nice or nicer than well-setup 1980-94 forks...no joke. I sorted out the final jetting on it and took it out for 40 miles this morning. Runs, stops, and starts perfect through the whole range, except a slight gurgle around 45mph in top gear...I'll get that dialed in with needle and timing. Overall, this bike turned out much better than I had anticipated. I'd like to set it up for more power, but I'm torn between running this super smooth honda-based engine at 108 versus slapping in a torque monster. The bike is really refined everywhere else, it would seem a shame to remove the refined powerplant as well. I don't know how fast it will go, as it buries the speedo, but I would guess a top speed of 65mph is probably the limit. It loves 45-50mph which works out fine. [/QUOTE]
