I gotcha Bob. I just figured if I am going to bother taking the forks apart I'll replace the seals.

One of these weeks I'll get to them. This week is my second set of speakers, so no, not yet.

Default Ricor intiminators

Drew, I'm guessing that you have yet to install the Ricor intiminators, but here's a question. From what you researched will these alone solve brake dive and stiffen the front end a bit from stock? I ride a '05 Fatboy SE and I think the front end is mushy. Plan to purchase from you and install Shotgun shock this winter and interested if the intiminators would be a good pairing. Thanks in advance for your expertise.........

That is exactly what they will do. No , I still have not had time to take my front end apart, but one of these days.
