Improving the front suspension

Front Upgrades
This winter project was all front suspension and forks. I went with Progressive monotubes and lowered the front 1" due to the 21" wheel. I also did the Arlen Ness Hot legs.
This Job took me a week in my garage due to checking and double checking everything and getting the right tools for the job. The top nut is a PIA to get off I got the shallow socket to put it back on and my left forks was rusted in place had to persuade it to come lose. My fork oil was so old it stunk up the whole garage.
Took the bike for a ride solo Saturday and can tell a huge difference in handling but I went from worn out front end to stiff.
