[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1444950, member: 21394"] I'd be tempted to sell the ES to someone that wants the premium ES suspension and stuff, and actually downgrade to a Gen II or Gen III A model. That way you can install upgraded springs and Penske 8983 shock for less than the cost of the swap. I have the Penske 8983 with 850 lb springs. Bought it used for $450 and had it rebuilt after a couple years, and installed 1000# fork springs with the stock cartridges, new slides and oil. That whole fork rebuild was under $200 in parts. You might have to hook up to a tech meet if you don't do that kind of thing. Just saying, it is possible to transform the bike to a heavy hauler with good performance. [/QUOTE]
