I have had quite a few people ask how the Kiwi Leaf Spring front end handles. It has finally warmed up over the last couple of days and I have been able to put a couple of hundred miles on the bike after work.. the suspension of the Kiwi is excellent, as good as oe.. the bike handles great unless you get in a cross wind of 10mph or over , then it becomes an adventure. I think it is due to the lighter weight of the front end and skinny tire.. keeps you on your toes ....

Damn revolution.. your bike just looks unreal man. You seriously did an amazing job with that thing. I'd love to see how that thing rides with the kiwi springer. Thats good that it handles well though. I thought your handling would have gone down the sh!tter with putting that thing on.. guess not! enjoy man.

You definitely have some testicular fortitude...and a high limit credit card. Sweet ride, man.
