Congrats on the feature!

Hugh's no doubt. Comes with the correct R/R.

That's what I'm saying exactly! very spongey so far, and I had to add a bit of PVC spacer I had around to preload them at all, and I'm going to have to go back and make a longer one to get them right. Just surprised since I was under the impression this was an easy off the shelf upgrade. Does...

If anybody was wondering, we installed these this week. The springs came with instructions with a special note saying to install these without spacers. This was incorrect. The springs rattled loosely in the forks without them, and there was zero pre load. We cut some spacers and put them in and...

Hey guys, still lurking around, and getting my XS650D cafe ready for the Bull City Rumble in Durham NC on August 30th! Finally got around to addressing the diving forks, and I ordered some Progressive 11-1119 from Ebay for the rebuild. Now they arrived and looking at them, I don't see much...

PM sent. Got plenty of stuff left!

Cool project, man. Keep it up!

Congrats! Every little victory makes you better prepared for next time. Great time to ride those NC mountains!

I know this probably won't help, but I was going through something like this with my 72 Triumph. After a couple of months of beating my head against the wall with the carbs, I started tracing all the wiring and found out I had a pinched spark plug wire. It had been rubbed bare between the...

This is how she sits for now. It's been a blast, and we've put about a thousand miles on her so far. Still needs some suspension tweaks and little tuning, but from a cardboard box to this definitely feels like an accomplishment.
