@94atromero That seems like a good solution. I see a couple tradeoffs between that and extended tubes. Those are probably cheaper than tubes, but still require the same fork rebuild. I like that it gets you more travel, but seems like it'd reduce the 'overlap' of the tubes within the sliders, putting a little lateral leverage on the openings of the slider? but maybe a fork brace would help with that? The problem with extended tubes is it just mounts the trees further up and its basically a spacer. I guess both options are better than the extended fork caps...

From last Thursday at the Club:

Ripping around with my boy -

Meet Bloke - the Sgt. at Arms of the San Jose Dons MC. He’s originally from the East Midlands. Nottingham to be more precise. I previously posted a snap of his bike in front of our clubhouse. Now here he is with it at a Bar-B-Que at my place in Sonoma.
To my eyes he has the look of a man who’d be handy in a bar fight. The kind of man who knows how to deliver a decent head butt. He’s a great friend of the Club and I’ve never seen him act anything but the proper gentleman. Still, he has that look
.PS: His actual name is Harold. A fine English name, if you ask me.

Over the weekend in San Francisco.
Damned stinkin’ Mods! Grrrrrrr…

This past weekend I went up north island and rode more of the V.I. 1000. I camped in Side Bay, which isn’t on the route, but I couldn’t resist. Great mix of off-road riding conditions that pushed me out of my comfort zone a few times. Side Bay was definitely the highlight of the trip as it was remote and beautiful. Camped right on the beach and the new sleeping pad I bought was so comfortable. I still have more to complete on the route and should be able to knock out the rest over a couple of weekends. The last map is what I have ridden so far …

Looks shit

@SFMCfranky Mrs NickD is from very near Nottingham and we live about 30 miles away from there. Does he still have a Notts accent?
-
@Bridger Like your attitude?
-
@Denman-John possibly misinterpreted statement. In UK English, “looks shit or shite” is actually a compliment that means wonderful, fantastic, etc.
-
It looks stunning @Denman-John, a great environment to reenergise.
Apologies if my lazy sarcasm was lost in translation (I speak Australian).

Thanks for translating @goosehd, you beat me to it

So what @Denman-John actually meant to post was "I like your attitude".......
To add. If I say "That looks shit", it means that is off the scale fucking fantastic

@Denman-John Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing, looks like a great time!
I would have taken it the wrong way too, and I'm Scottish...

Sorry, it seems my sarcastic humour mode wasn’t activated when I read the reply this morning. You guys are the shit!
