Does it make revving noises at the top of the hour?

New tires. New fluids. 10k mile maintenance. New left fork seal. Also got my QD sissy bar installed with my QD saddlebag mounts. It feels different. I'm guessing it's the tires.

Does it go 'potato potato potato' instead of tick tick tick?

Yep, new tires always feel different, and usually better. It sucks when the ride and handling get worse.

It's a Baxley sport chock. I got mine at my local bike shop about 10 years ago.

Felt it was finally time to upgrade the suspension. Dropped the legs and swapped the cartridge setup for TrackerDie 2" Dampers, Race Tech Gold Valves, Progressive springs, and preload adjusters.
Installed the RWD RS-1 14" shocks and Bung King 6.5" Upper shock mount sliders.
