Well well....
Another amazing 12 hour day @ Joe's custom speed shop....a fully catered event with performances by Frank Zappa and Black Sabbath. I even got some bonus tech support from Bob of Baatfam Productions!
The "stiction" issue was 100% the telefix fork brace. I must have tweaked it back @ track day when I went down. Took it off and the front forks came right up. Too late to turn back now...
Broke down the front end and installed new seals & other bits, Race Tech cartridge emulators and my Tarozzi fork brace. Got my new Ikons on the rear and went for a late night test ride.
WOW!!!! It doesn't even feel like the same bike. I can hammer the front and it comes back up smoothly...not like a pogo stick. The rear feels very planted and again, no pogo stick punching back up. I only took it around the hood a few times so I can't wait to get it out for a real ride.
Many and multiple thanks to Joe and Cathy for always taking care of me and also to Bob for his help. You guys are amazing and I would be screwed without you....'sniff sniff'
