nice looking ride man...can you tell me how you mounted your signals to the inverted. I am looking at buying one for my bike and my only concern is the ability to mount the signals as ( have the signals on the stock forks and I am NEVER running wires thru my Carlini's again!

Appreciate your guidance.

Looks awesome too. Go for it.

donk_316 the front end is much more complicated than your old FL (1948~Current) type than you are use to. There is valving and springs that will do the same thing much easier and way better but not as cheaply. With a fluid change you for sure will not get the same desired results. You need to take it to a local Sports Bike tuner in your area.

I believe I have a parts list and exploded drawing of a similar unit when I was in negotiations with Marzocchi. Drop me an e-Mail @ my site so I could shoot it to you and you can see what exactly is involved.

PS: If your forks are not currently built and tuned for your body weight, weight of your bike and riding style, you will get a very pleasant surprise in performance. You thought you liked your bike before...once done you'll like it even better and wonder why you never did it before.
