Made a mistake!
Added extra heavy oil to the forks when I dropped the front end and colored her up (if black and chrome can be considered colors).
Road it for a while and was bent on the ride figured it was the springs and or preload and then searched our trusty site for info.
So I swaped out the oil after a good read, added type E back in and w h o l l y smokes what a difference!
I can't believe how much of a difference the weight makes. I thought I really hosed up by dropping the front? Now it is a whole different ride also added the True trac....... H A P P Y N E S S!!!

Good to hear you were able to resolve your problem. What the heck is that on your guardian bell? a small frog? Did you actually find it there or was it placed for the photo?

Goodstory about the frog, frogs are cool. [sm=smiley20.gif]you did put him in a safe place didn't you? 
About your forkoil, you say extra heavy, do you know what weight you put in by mistake? I know they have all weights of fork oil 5, 7.5, 10, 15, and 20. Just curious, and Thanks
