    Fork Suspension Upgrade

    How have you improved the front suspension without taking a loan or auctioning your children? I have an '05 w/ABS; 23,000miles, and I weigh 155 without gear. The $1,000 price tag on cartridge forks is more than my justification can accept. So... Wanting to see what you all have done to...

    Leveling CO's

    So as not to open up a new argument; I've read ALL (HERE, HERE and HERE) the threads regarding CO's and what exactly they effect, or do not effect. I am among the minority here in believing that CO changes do infact change engine performance at idle as well as at cruise RPM's; thus, the CO's...
