in a box with about 50 lbs of other stuff that that didn't go back on. Good brake pads, fluid and line and stops fine for my application. IMG_1313.jpgLast edited by Guest; 10-07-2016, 03:36 PM.Comment

I stripped the frame with aircraft stripper, our body shop painted the frame with automitive paint, the same that would be on your car. I looked at getting it powder coated but the paint job fit my budget better. I've had a few frames painted like this and they hold up great.Last edited by Guest; 10-08-2016, 08:18 AM.Comment

It's growing on my also, I wasn't sure about the color at first either but now i really love the look of the bike, and the duck bill does flow nicely with the body line. Time for tires next, the old Dunlops are bald and cracked, then get the seat cut down and recovered. All as the budget allows.Comment

Search for block-off plates. The anti-dives modulate the fluid that flow through these ports in the forks. If you just block them off then the forks will get very stiff.
If you do cartridge emulators it does not matter becuase you drill the damping rods and so the oil flows around and through these holes(in damping rods) and the anti dive becomes inoperative.
