Where did you buy the chock from and how much did you pay for it? (SEK is fine)

[@LaineMoto]

I bought it from racingonelab.com. it was something like ~940€. Good place to buy if you are not in a hurry. It took little over a month to arrive but other than that the service was good.

What is your height? And pant inseam please

[@LaineMoto]

172cm and 81-82cm. this is inseam to the floor. The seat height is now higher with the new rear shock but it has not been a problem for me. I can tippy toe both sides.

Riding in snow looks fun, something I doubt I'll ever experience, no snow here👍

[@LaineMoto]

It is fun until you slip and fall :)

U need a hait cut ha ha

[@LaineMoto]

No no. :)

[@stefanmolter1826]

Which tyres you use on this ride and get the front fork an upgrade!?

[@LaineMoto]

I still have stock tires. Front is getting an upgrade when the winter ends.

[@stefanmolter1826]

@@LaineMoto With the stock tyres it is a "slippery" fun! I have now 4400 km and I will change them now, what would be your choice?? THANKS!!!

[@LaineMoto]

@@stefanmolter1826 I heard good things about dunlop D606 rear and pirelli MT21 front and that might be what i will try when my stock tires are worn enough.

[@stefanmolter1826]

@@LaineMoto Thanks for your reply! I would have favored your own experience, especially because D606 and MT21 are not available in the original dimensions.

[@LaineMoto]

​@@stefanmolter1826 Sadly i don't really have experience with dirt tires, i have ridden sport touring/sport bikes 7 years before getting the crf300. MT21 is really close so no problem there but D606 has bigger diameter and it will decrease rear wheel torque so you should also change the rear sprocket to compensate.

How many mm of travel?

[@LaineMoto]

Should be close to stock (260mm or 10.2 inch) maybe a little more, i have not measured anything. The stock shock was just so soft that just sitting on the bike used half of the travel. It is still winter/very early spring here so i have not had any opportunity to test anything.
