I'd have to guess a new set of springs. Im not familiar with the tripple tree on that bike but sometimes if your hust dropping it a little you can slide the tubes up thru the tree. Food for thought.

I just checked the forks on a slim and it looks like a spring set is your only option. Try a progressive "drop in" kit. Looks like its just under a 100 bucks and probably cheaper if you shop around or get any deals from your dealer. My dealer hooks it up with 15% off. Not the best discount but I dont pay shipping and if theres an issue I have a store front to deal with not an internet store lol. Good luck. Its not a bad job just messy.
Thanks for the help guys...just moved to a new place with a garage so I can get to working on some mods! FINALLY can get back to it and hopefully throw some wheels on in the process

Sounds good. The carriage roads are some good riding. My profile pic of me in the pedal car was actually taken up there at a campground in Ellsworth. We planned late that year and Ellsworth was the closest we could get for a camping spot hence why I've been try to get the guys together and book this years long weekend.
