Hi Mark....This is REALLY OLD thread from about a year and half ago.....lol As always thanks for the help

Since this post I have replaced my tubes with 2inch under and then used the lowering kit to lower it one more inch.

And for Doze....I believe I added 10.8 ozs. of SE fork oil to each tube. My tubes were brand new and dry to start with. Good Luck with your bike!

Leg is doing great! Started PT yesterday, but have got a few miles on the bike too. Ran a poker run Sat that was 125 miles.

Getting LOTS of compliments on the A/C you made for me!
