    So the question is.... did Grahams forks have adjustable base valves or where they stock???

    Also, didn't a member here buy one of Grahams bikes after the school? I wonder if the 4CS forks were modified or???

    Rob rode the west coast school and my friend Tim rode the east coast one. Both said he was on stock demo bikes, at both schools.

    We had a long thread regarding graham's forks and most thought he did not run stock 4cs forks. I was looking for someone to verify for sure. I thought Robert was the last one to meet him

    Most of the people who responded to that thread, including myself have no direct knowledge. There was a lot of assumption, that a Factory rider would run trick stuff. Chilly White/Enduro 360, helped Graham prep his '13 Husaberg and '14 Husky for KOM and wrote articles about them. Both times a stock bike was prepped by Graham and Chilly, with no prep from the Factory race shop either time.

    I read all of that and I was one of the first ones to post that link when members where questioning the 4CS forks. Then someone chimed in saying they knew for sure he did in fact not run 4CS OEM setups. I remember Robert saying he would look to see if adjusters could be spotted on the base valves but then I didn't ever see a follow up post(I may have missed it). If Graham rode a MXer 250 for the class than it may not matter. I was more thinking of his 300 setup. Anyway I was just curious if anyone actually had eyes on one of his competition bikes is all. I know most guys don't divulge secrets for obvious reasons.

    My friend Tim, asked him directly about suspension revalving and he said he runs his bikes stock.

    For here he was on a box stock TC250, they had to hustle one up from Murrietta and stuck TE300 shroud covers on it, he had 1 GT Front and one OEM Dunlop(19in rear rim) .
    I am sure (but not 100% of course) when he does all the world extreme stuff he is on works equipment cone valve forks or CC specials.
