I ended up having a dead short that was blowing the LED's. Got it fixed.

Some suspension work. The front end was a little squishy. It had alot of brake dive at and would bottom on jumps. So I scarfed Chucks old bent forks that had a stiffer rate, progressive spring in them. I swapped out the springs. Took less than an hour.

Also the lower forks on these are known to be a spot of flex on these heavy bikes. fortunately there are several manufacturers that make fork braces. I picked up one from Eagle Mike.



I have a new pipe on the way that should help with my throttle response. I am pretty amazed what a difference in jetting is required with realative small changes in intake and exhaust. Also I dropped off the tank and fairing to be painted. I can't wait to see them.
