Nice ride and welcome to KF,, Sooners BOOOOOO haha Just Kidding lol

 

Well I did some work on the front end yesterday and the bike feels totally different. I pulled the forks, changed the fork seal and put in a new set of progressive springs. The springs that were in there were progressive as well but they were a full two inches shorter than the ones I replaced them with. I guess all those miles squashed'em down. I also repacked my bearings and bled my brakes. While I was in there I fixed an issue I had with the tachometer mounting and re-arranged my fairing placement. That took most of a day, especially since I had to go to harbor freight 3 times to get more tools.

Now it's pouring rain outside.

I'll get to test it all out as soon as it dries up a bit. The bike sits a lot higher up and there isn't nearly as much play on the forks. All in all I think it went well. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Give us a ride report; proof's in the pudding. Glad things went well on the wrenching (and a reason to buy more tools!) Should feel much better and safer.
