What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

[TDrummer]

with great please her, I report the sorting of my '92's suspension.

 

New steering head bearings, fork seals, oil, springs.

 

Cleaned up rust and painted swingarm, new bearings.

 

NEW CUSTOM BUILT shock absorber from Cogent Dynamics, Fletcher North Carolina. Goodbye to the lame and blown out OEM emulsion shock (reminded me of my ex-wife). Cogent had to dissect it in measuring/testing for new shock and it was sadly not in any condition to be reassembled. 

 

Cogent charged me just under $500 dollars. The shock is beautiful, works flawless, adjustable damping and preload. Amazing work. Very high quality.

If anyone in US wants to replace their OEM unit, you have to get in touch with Cogent. Now that they built mine, they should be able to duplicate the design for any other TDM owners. I'm sure they will ship overseas as well. Small company, had to wait a bit to get it but well worth it.

 

Not sure on the fork springs yet. Race Tech .85s. I have way too much preload which I will have to back off. I think the springs will be ok but firm once I sort the preload.
