Thanks to IrocRob for doing the fork cartridges for me. (And spotting me $300 to pay Cakes for the forks, clamp and stand till I got there)

Thanks to Ripp for helping me install the shock (saved me from tossing and turning on my garage floor and having a conniption fit) LOL!

Thanks to Cakes for selling me the Pro Lux top clamp, and the extra set of forks to do my internals... not to mention the Pitbull strapless stand

Looks great. Get yourself a notebook to keep track of any changes you make. It's easy to get lost with all those adjustments!!!

I didn't open the box with the shock till today, even though I had it for a few weeks. But in the box has a sticker in it and you write adjustments down. I'm just not sure where to keep it on the bike, but that notebook thing is a good idea.

Sweet


Make sure you get them dialed in proper. I wasn't thrilled my AK-20's and Penske triple right out the box, but once I had everything properly setup, the bike corners like it's on rails.
