The death of TURDBO !
Re: The death of TURDBO !
A keeper coil (usually called a helper spring) is a small soft spring installed in series with the main spring. At most times it runs fully compressed (they are usually made of flat or square wire). When the shock is unloaded (i.e. full droop or at least more droop than the short main spring can handle) the helper spring extends to keep the main spring in place. Basically it's there to stop the main spring falling out if it's too short to be captive.
i think the motocompo was in the boot when i took them photos plus the sub box etc so i think it was just a little heavy. Can you not buy lowering springs from japan direct? i am actually heading to japan in two weeks so if any one know of anything they mite want brought back ( if its small) or anything they would like me to check out let me know because i will be looking for bits and bobs while over there.
The sub box lowered the rear haha.
Motocompo mate. bring back as many as u can. Didn't you say you had 'after' pics of your black city? just how badly damaged was it?
ahh thats right i never got round there this week, was gonna take a couple photos. i will when i get back then! righto motocompos it is i will hunt some down.any ideas where they mite be?
I'd also suss out posting one back in bits from there...I know post from there to Aus is $$$ but still be worth while.
