I appreciate all the help guys. You replace all the seals only on 4000 or so miles? I assume they are still good but since I am in there I guess could not hurt. There are 4 seals per fork. Which ones or one are you changing the main seal? (oil seal)

I didn't change mine at 4000 miles..but then again, it was at like 1700 that i did the powdercoating. I keep an eye on them though.. and i just replaced the middle seals..where the fork spring housing seals in to the fork lowers

thanks
Here ya go:









This pic is a little deceiving. That isn't what I see when I'm on the bike, the camera was angled down. But it gives you an idea of the size of the shield. The 14" is right about at the bottom of my nose. The 16" was too high and a little distracting, the 14" for me is perfect.

Finally got to get back on the lo this morning. Unfortunately I moved my house right before I left for some military training. Now my commute is only about eight miles instead of 27. Not nearly as much time to enjoy the lo. Now I have to be one of those guys who worries about condensation in their oil. I put on the new frenched trim rings for the headlight and passing lamps that i had powder coated while I was gone. I really like how they look. Now I just have to get the trucklite phase 7 that was the main reason for getting the frenched trim rings. That's got to wait though for the oil cooler. I think I'm going to get the HD one. If anybody with ABS has pics of one installed on theirs I'd love to see them. Here's a few pics of the new trim rings.

Yep, I did all four as a recent mod. These pieces are top notch quality, milled billet. They don't come in black, but you can get them in raw aluminum. I just painted and installed them. Someday if I ever get more stuff PC'd I'll probably throw them in to get done.

The best price I could find was at Powersportjunkie. They ship fast and free over $49 purchase. I got all four signals and the load equalizer there.
