Thank you sir...

I had my doubts but after they were done, I really ike them... Took the bike up to 115 this past weekend and it rode straight as an arrow... When we did the frontend this time we cut the PVC down from 3" to 2.5" and it made a huge difference in how the bike rides.

NO... you can't... lol After we finished my bike I let XJay take it out for the shake down run. He did good, I on the other hand haven't rode a reg bike in a while... So I'm riding his monster of a Blackline, you know 250 kit, 103 w/ cams, 10.5/1, and I'm down shifting like it's the clutch I'm pushing on... lmao

Yeah buddy! 115 damn, I haven't hit that yet but it'll happen lol. Still breaking in the new 95" before I rip it through the gears. I'm at the recommended 500 miles but still a bit cautious.

My bike runs straight as hell also. I was riding the one highway home from visiting my parents doing the normal one hand only of course, look down and was cruising at about 90 like it was nothing...no wonder everyone was giving me funny looks as I passed them...

Story, do you replace the fork seals and damper bolts every time you pull the front end apart? I'd like to get the 2" under tubes...just wondering if I need to replace all the other stuff also.

Mark, I would have paid good money to see that!!!
Reminds me of the time my good "buddy" invited me to try his bike. It was a total custom... plunger frame (anyone remember those?) with Servi-Car running gear. The thing is, he failed to mention that Servi-Cars had a REVERSE GEAR... and guess where reverse was in the shift pattern?

You mean you guys don't ride 90+ all the time? Lol anything over 110 and it feels like my face wants to peel off anyway

Aaron... did I forget to mention... We were up uphill doing 115... For real! lmao

And I don't think anyone should be doing that... It's not good!!! Jus' incase... lol

Cy... I changed them like a year ago everything so this time I just bought a basic seal kit and left all the bushing on the damper. I was waiting to do everything at was even though I had all the frontend stuff for like 6 months... Including Ash's bearing Installer/Puller... Muchas Gracias Ash!!!
