I have been following this thread because I want to do the same as the OP. I noticed that no one suggested the progressive monotube, better springs, or heavier fork oil. Is it a good idea to "upgrade" these parts as well since the forks are a part? Believe me, I am forum searching also but thought I would try to keep this thread going since the OP started it
Ive also been looking and reading about the monotubes for the front, already decided on those. I just wasn't sure about the chrome or black and if i did go with chrome if the cowbells should be changed as well. Looks like after compairing the black and chrome with the wife she likes the chrome better so that is what we decided on. Now it's time to price shop!
dont overlook some details,like spacers,caliper bridge bolts or mount bolts while your there,also spring upgrade? too.one thing I over looked was the little washer(4) between the fender and sleve.
