Default Isn't she pretty...







What I had done:
  • Stiffer springs (Racetech)
  • Upgraded valving (Racetech, emulates a cartridge fork)
  • New seals for my leaky forks
  • And of course the install of the Ohlins rear shock

Man what a difference! The front end no longer dives during braking, or even just closing the throttle and the bike feels a lot more stable through turns. I couldn't be happier!

I believe the suspension on your bike is now worth more than the actual bike. Nice!!!!!!!!!!! Bet it feels great.
