You know what, I hadn't thought of it that way, kept thinking I needed a vice and other items. I'm sold.

Going to take pics once I get started and do a thread from a complete newbie stand point

Did the install yesterday, intiminators + RSD preload adjusters (stock springs, in the way they were). I had a motion pro, which I think is worth the $20. Oh, and I pulled the forks after all to avoid being shamed here. Process was not bad, took me about a half day with distractions. Service manual and a lot of good advice on here made it much easier. Anyone want to buy a marine pump? So now my suspension setup is this + last week I installed progressive 970s in the rear. Can't wait to go for a ride.

Congrats and great to know that it only took about half a day! I'm still waiting on the RSD Adjusters but received the Motion Pro. I'm itching to get started on this and my cam swap but work is dictating otherwise.

On the positive side, with the Mother in Law in town for the next 10 days I rode the motorcycle to work in 28deg so that she could keep my car. Was great to be back on the bike despite the cold!
