Ill check out the thread! Thanks for all the help and the link gggary!

Mailman: Thanks for the suggestion! Ill give your review a look-see Grizld: Noted! Thank you:cheers: ArcticXS: I've heard nothing but good things about ohlins and have certainly considered them. But I thought it wise for me to see what other suggestions people may have before I spend my life...

No, thats good to know on the length youre using! Thanks! and yeah thats sort of my reasoning for not wanting to drop the whole bike. Thats why i'm thinking I may just lower the front a short bit, with the racetech springs and emulators and run stock height in the rear.

Thanks Grizld! Planning to use HHB front fork brace

With that in mind: My xs is a '78. I've done a little looking on here but havent gone on an extensive digging expedition yet, haha. Any knowledge on whether mine would have 35 or 36 mm front forks?

Perfect! Thanks for pointing a newbie in a helpful direction everyone! This will be my first build so I'm in the midst of figuring things out that you all have known for 15-20 years haha

Well I know this thread is a decade old but I'm going to shoot my shot in the dark anyways! I'm in the midst of building my first xs650 and have seen this ^ recommendation from a few people as I've been digging through the forums researching things. So I reached out to Traxxion Dynamics and was...
