Oh wow! That's a slick trick! Thanks man!

Great idea! Thanks

Ya I did set the caps to minimum at least . Ya, definitely was sweating my ass off! 😂

So, I didn't have a whole lot of time today. So I decided to throw the progressive springs in, and with the preload adjusters maxed out (3rd setting down), and 6.5ounces of new 15wt fork oil, I'm a lot happier now. They still have a long ways to go but much better than before. Im going to try...

Wow, thanks for all the info fellas!

It was awhile ago, but I seem to remember 7ounces-ish... With some 15wt motor oil I had on the self at the time. Rider weight of 195lbs. I do have everything on the self for a full tear down and rebuild now though, including progressives and emulator valves. Just curious which route you guys...

Not much, just a little cosmetic cleanup, an oil change and new dust seals.

Ok guys. I'm tired of the brake dive on these front forks. My question is this: new emulators with stock springs? New progressive springs? OR both (new emulators and progressive springs)? Not looking for a race bike, just a tighter front end. I hate the bouncing back and forth at the stop lights:D

Pretty happy with the 520 conversion (looks better, dunno about any actual performance), and the 30 tooth rear sprocket made er a lot more fun at highway speeds. I lost a little low end grunt but essentially lowered my rpm at 60mph from 4k to 3400, I like it.

Ok, great, thanks guys.

Wow, just got back into the left side cover for a 520 chain conversion and a gearing adjustment. (Gonna try going down to 30 on rear sprocket). BUT! Check out the wear on the end of that one piece clutch pushrod already! 😳 Maybe couple hundred miles on it. Yes, it's a Mike's, where are you guys...

Mrs. Peepz day one learning the ropes! We went out to a quiet new subdivision going in for her to start getting the hang of it. Only killed it once. She did good!

Definitely feels and looks a lot better!😊

Had an old rotor laying around, so here goes nothing! Borrowed 5twins template and went to town! Then whipped up a plate to chuck in the press for some resurfacing. Think it came out very nice, just gotta mask and blast/paint center section. It's destined for the 81' if all works out!

May have snuck out on the new bridge project 😬😉
