very very nice. how did you find the performance of the forks? did it really make a good difference or not really worth the punt?
it was something i was considering. and is that a 96-01 rear shock set up too?

Well in 8 years racing here in California there's only been one occasion to ride in foot-peg deep mud and I took it. It did take months to clean the bikes but it was worth it.thestuz wrote:well you wouldn wanna thrash a fully restored bike in the mud would ya? maybe a blast on the dry stuff or bitumen.redrocket190 wrote:Please tell me they're not "garage queens".
