I was able to get the front mount installed tonight. The washer for the nut under the oil filter was in a recess in the mount where I couldn't see it. I took it out and was just able to install the bolts. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow and I can get a ride in to check out the improved handling.

Just wanted to follow up and close out this thread. The mods made a big improvement in the cornering stability of the bike. It used to feel like it had really bad swing arm pivot bearings in and the swing arm was moving side to side. The True Track front and rear stabilizers took all of that out. I'm certainly no road racer and I don't "drag pegs", but I now know that it will hold whatever line I choose in a corner. It was bad enough that I was seriously considering selling the bike. Now that I'm going to keep it, time to dump several thousand into it!

That is on the short list. There are so many options that have been discussed here on the forum. The guys name escapes me now, but the one who specs the Ohlin? shocks to you and your bike seems like the way to go. I'll also do the front end, to include chrome lowers. Woods 222 cams and a tuner from Fuel Moto are on the short list too.
