Suzuki 800DE Build Coming Along Nicely

 


The buid is coming together nicely with the main modification being the race wheel set. Looking for suspension options we phoned Nitron in the UK and after some discussions they have brought to market a +20mm option for a front cartridge kit and a complete rear shock. The folks at Nitron were amazingly knowledgable and helpfull. Really happy we contacted them.

Tail tidy - Hessler Racing
Race wheel set (18" 2.50, 21" 1.85) - Hessler Racing
Brake lever - Hessler Racing
Bar riser - Hessler Racing
Preload mount (nneded when losing pasing pegs) - Hessler Racing

Customn graphics - Unit 31 Moto
Seat Custom - Unit 31 Moto

Sump guard Suzuki - JD Racing
Hand guards KTM - JD Racing
KTM fat bars - JD Racing

Double Take Mirror

We are now waiting on the fork cartridges from Nitron. Will be installed next month in time for testing in Portugal. The stock suspension works fine and it will get you where you need to go for the majority of riders. Start pushing the bike though at faster speeds and bigger hits and the OEM boingers start to struggle.
