You can change out the tubes for FLH tubes which are already 2" shorter and will maintain a factory ride. Or, you could go with the Ness Dampers. What are your plans for the rear?
Just a side note on the intiminators. Mine showed up this afternoon. I read the install instructions. It says 5wt amsoil.

Well I goofed on the tires and ordered a Vee. I already told the dude I would take it before reading about db tires. Since I did that I am gonna give it a shot and prolly just do a Dunlop on the rear for now. If I am not happy with it I will be calling Tab.

Bummer bro. I went thru the same thing last year. The Vee is crap. I would try to sell it even for a loss and get ahold of Tab. The Metz is prestine.

I may try that, I am in the Vee under $200 so it isn't a huge deal if it sucks.

DB WW way better. The whitewall is super white and doesnt turn brown like the Vee. The Metz tire wears way better and lasts longer. Use Dyna Beads for balanceing the tires. They work great.

Sorry to hear about your luck. For products like this it is always best to order from a reputable dealer and not the manufacturer. Most dealers will have them in stock and if not you will usually have them within a month. Manufacturers are more apt to keep a dealer happy than a single individual. Dealer orders will get filled before a direct customer because dealers usually order in quantity.
