Today I modified my forks. Shortening them by 2.25" seems to have brought the front end of the frame around 1.5" closer to the ground. It looks fantastic! I'll post pics of the bike tomorrow (raining at the moment) but for now here is a shot of one finished tube next to one at factory length:
I knew my front brakes were done, but I didn't realize how done they were. I'm now rocking a new set of Hawk sintered pads, same ones I put on the rear 6 months ago. And a fresh change of DOT 4.
Today I tore my forks apart again trying to find the proper oil level after modifying them. Goodness gracious...i am now much more familier with forks than I would have cared to be at this point in my ownership but I believe I found the proper level after my 3rd try tonight.

Holy sheep ****! I know there are other variables, but how many miles were on those pads?
