[QUOTE="Patriot, post: 854097, member: 17187"] update: Shock installed, new front tire installed...bike returned on 3rd day scheduled for hottest week of summer when I won't ride anyway (July?)... Aaron checked under the tank and plan for valve check is to have on hand a valve cover gasket and ??? chain cover gasket? bring it in on a Monday...will check late Mon or Tue and determine if and what shims are needed...either button it up with no additional attention needed, or 2nd day order shims or shim kit so bike can be picked up on Friday. CCT also will be replaced. I have a chain as well, but seems no need to replace with engine having 45k mi. report: all quite positive... to be fair, the entire combination of Ebach fork springs, total rebuild of stock shock by Sasquatch Suspensions, and a brand new front PR2 have made the bike anew. I've ridden 600+ miles since getting the bike back from my local shop on Thur evening. Half those miles on the slab, but half on other roads and highways including today's to and fro hwy 90 sweepers where the bike easily let me take them at a constant +15mph over what felt safe before. I could hardly be happier with $100 fork springs + $475 shock rebuild + $103.37 Derby Cycles front PR2 making the bike feel stable, planted, and safer. It's even more funner to ride her... let's ride safe and be careful out there, Mike in Nawlins' [/QUOTE]
