I finally finished modifying these shock absorbers late last night...



I installed them in the dark... by feel...

Here you can see Goofy inspecting things:



By turning her back and feigning indifference, she signals her approval:



I haven't taken it for a test ride (it was about 3:00 AM when I finished, I was tired, it was about 50 degrees and I'm fighting a cold, plus the Kerker exhaust might wake the old man). I did bounce up and down on the seat and can say that these feel quite a bit more lively, plus they're an inch taller which I'm thinking will help the handling...

Today it's pissing down rain, same forecast for tomorrow, so my test ride will have to wait...

I believe she was signaling that the tank should be pink.

Good hearing from you! Haven't got to ride it yet - it's just too hard to handle for my first one, so we are exploring other options... I'll keep you updated! wink

Nothing makes me sleep better than a finished project.

Nothing makes me sleep worse than waiting to test that project.
