GB #3: '06-'08 D675 Rear Suspension Correction and/or Ride Height Plates (leftovers)

[FLUX] · Sep 28, 2009

This is a Group Buy to sell off the sets of plates that I have left-over from the first and second runs that I had made. After this lot is gone, that's it for me. I simply don't have the time in my life at present to continue getting these plates made up any more.

Quite a few people dropped out after my extended delays due to family health issues, and for that I both understand people doing so, and offer my apologies.

These plates I have here are already completed, and packaged in envelopes ready to go out the door on a first-come, first-served basis. I've had quite a few people contact me via PM, but what with the delays, I don't even know if half of the guys who PM'ed me even want them any more, so I'm starting afresh.

--------------------------------------------------

Click Here for full details on what these plates are and what they do

Okay, so you didn't want to click the above link and still want to know what are they and what will they do for you?

What the replacement plates are

These are drop-in replacements for the pair of triangular shaped rear suspension linkage plates that link the rear swingarm to the rear shock-absorber and the rear suspension "dogbone". Computer simulation and analysis of the stock linkage plates determined that their dimensions were contributing to a less than desirable rising rate suspension action, causing harshness in the ride quality of the bike over bump sequences, and a tendency to pitch the rider out of the seat over larger bumps. The replacement plates were designed to address these issues.

What these replacement plates do

Corrects/dramatically improves the harshness of the 675's rear suspension action with the stock rear shock unit, feeling as if the rear shock absorber has been upgraded to an aftermarket unit
Rear suspension action is more supple and compliant, allowing for more confident riding over bumpy roads. This also feeds back as better front-end control as well as the rear stops pitching and pushing the front as much.
Greatly reduces the tendency of the 675's rear suspension to kick you out of the seat over harsh bumps.
Increased rear swinging range, giving greater rear suspension travel. The rear wheel gains about an extra 10mm of top-out (meaning it can extend 10mm further than standard before the rear wheel leaves the road) and around an extra 5mm of travel before full compression (bottoming out).
Coupled with a quality aftermarket shock unit, I've personally not experienced a better rear suspension action on any bike.
Completely drop-in replacements. In most cases should require no adjustement to the rear shock settings. Ride height (with the rider aboard) will remain the same. In some cases (for hard road riding) increasing the rear rebound damping setting by 1 click will be helpful, and further fine-tuning by adding 1 click to the rear compression setting if required (also for very hard road riding).
CNC Machined from 5083-H321 grade aluminium alloy, which is a high strength marine (corrosion resistant) aluminium alloy.
Type II hard anodised in a low-gloss black colour

The plates come in a choice of retaining the standard right height, or giving a 10mm, or a 20mm ride height reduction, which may be useful for the height challenged riders amongst us what with the D675's rather tall seat height.

Price

Within Australia:
$68AUD (Australian Dollars) for a pair of plates, plus $4AUD postage + packaging, for an all-up shipped total of $72AUD

Anywhere else in the REST OF WORLD:
$68AUD (Australian Dollars) for a pair of plates, plus $7AUD for postage, packaging, and Paypal fees, for an all-up shipped total of $75AUD

Payment

I'm not a shop-front or store of any kind. This is purely an offering from a fellow riding enthusiast to those interested. Payment via Paypal is typically the best way to get funds to me, or Western Union works equally well. If you're in Australia, a bank direct deposit is the best way to go. If paying by Paypal just select the Australian dollar currency option when sending money and Paypal will perform the conversion and deduct the correct amount of money from your local currency balance. If paying by Western Union, make sure that I'm receiving the correct amount of money at my end in Australian dollar currency.

When I'm ready to receive money (which I won't accept payment UNTIL I actually have something physically packaged and ready to send to you immediately), I'll send out a PM to you requesting payment and re-expressing the details.

Until then the ONLY thing that you need to do is add your name to the following lists. This group buy is open until existing stock runs out.

The plates are available for immediate shipment. When you make payment, they're yours.

I have the following amounts of these plates left. These are hard limit numbers. After this lot, they're all gone.

Group Buyers

Standard Height Plates (19 sets)

10mm Height Reduction Plates* (4 sets)

20mm Height Reduction Plates* (1 set)

40mm Height Reduction Plates* (4 sets)

* Height reduction here means as measured from the rear axle to the ducktail directly above with a ~175lb (80kg) rider + 15lbs (7kg) of full gear seated on the bike. The actual seat height reduction is around 60% of this value. (ie. 10mm height reduction = ~6mm reduction in seat height. 20mm reduction = ~12mm reduction in seat height).

Just quote the list and extend as needed, adding your login name to whatever list you want. You can order multiple plates if you wish and I'll contact you with the final shipping total for such orders.

Okay guys. I've just mailed 8 set of plates out today. My apologies to those that paid a week+ ago, it's just easier for me to mail these out in batches, and I hope that's okay with you guys.

In order to keep the list smaller, I'm removing all those that have already paid and the plates are now in transit. If your name was on the list in the previous posts, and is now gone from the following list, it means that I've received your payment and the plates are winging their way to you now.

To those still on the list, I've not yet received any notification of your payment, so if you've made one already, then please contact my by PM so we can sort out what's going on.

Now that I can finally post in these pages I'd like to thank you [FLUX]! I got mine last week.

I'd give a review of the install, but I gotta keep the bike ready to go at a moments notice,(not too many more nice weather days left here in Pennsylvania!

GuJohnno · Oct 24, 2009

So will these fit the 2009 Daytonas?

As far as i know the shock has changed slightly but the linkages should be the same.

If they fit then I'm in for a set of standard height linkages. I can pick them up if that's cool

Sent out 11 sets of plates today. Sorry for the delays, and I do appreciate people's patience. Almost all done now.

Removing names from the list for those sent out today. Someone didn't provide me with a forum handle, so I don't know which name below matches. It was sent to a Peng Xiong. So, if your forum handle appears below, let me know, so I can remove it from the list.
