Not yet. Talked to the coater today. Everything should be done hopefully by the end of the week but I am not holding my breath.

My parts are back from powder finally. It is too cloudy to get good pics of them today so I will get some next week if it is sunny. Hopefully I can get this back together early next week and start riding it again. In the shade the legs and pulley just look black. Still waiting on the last piece of the puzzle which is wheels.

How many shims did everyone use in the Gold Valve kit with the race tech springs? Is there a chart to go off that goes by weight like the springs?

My buddy who has the spring compressor for the front forks was not in his shop on Friday. I need the spring compressor to get the forks finished. Hopefully he is there today but I am not sure if he will be in. I want this finished more than all the rest of you. It's been down nearly a month. That is pure torture for me. I'll let you guys know more in a bit when I have more of an idea of what is going on.

I know the feeling.

I have no mod money in the budget for a couple more weeks.

Registering the bike and my fines wiped out that budget.

I just dropped the forks off at a shop that has a spring compressor so that they can put the springs in for me. We were unable to locate one we could borrow unfortunately. Anyway, I'll be picking up the internals reassembled in the morning and will finally be getting it all back together tomorrow so I can ride my FXDXT for the weekend. One more day to wait.
