I have the Patriot Suspension lowering fork springs on my bike and I really like them dropped it 2 inches. It rides really good and no more suspension dive. Thanks to G, for the recommendation.

On a side note for the second time now my back cylinder inner exhaust head nut has fallen off. There is know room for a socket or wrench.
I got another one but damn is there a special tool to try and tighten that thing?

HELP ME!! lol
I don't remember having any problem reaching it so I just went out to the garage to see if removing the seat post provides more access and my nut is gone too! May have to remove the heat shield to get to it.
addicted,,, I use and snap on wobble extension and a socket... I'm sure craftman make one... You know those extensions that are kinda diamond shaped where the socket goes?
The only one I need to use a open end on the one behind the down tube on the front cyl.
Sorry to hear everyones nuts are falling off! For the exhaust, don't re-use the nut - always new. Mark had the perfect answer also - wobble extension. I also suggest use of 1/4" tools (extension and socket for close quarters to the exhaust pipe). You can always adapt to 3/8" once outside the close proximity.
Last time I took my rear pipe off..my rear nut was so corroded on the stud...the whole stud nut combo cam out together..replaced the assembly and used a dab of never-sieze on my nut. (maybe I should re-write this..)
