Cool. I was thinking about that tonight. I am also looking at a fork brace.

When the bike is new, the forks stand up. After riding it for a while, it begins to get lower, and lower, and lower...

Why? Dunno.

I am on my second fork oil change using the Screamin Chicken heavy fork oil. Like Speedquest sez, what a difference. Won't use anything else.

Cool Im in the process of changing out lowers for black powder coat. I guess it would be an upgrade to usescreaming eagle fork oil? Already switched to Amsoil for everything else...happy with that.
