Hi, I've just had my first ride out, after doing the " desmog " thing every one is on about in america. What a difference to the sound no more poping and farting on shut off. definitely worth doing if your bike has all that junk on it. my bike is a canada import which did. I made my own block off plates from 5mm alloy plate and put new s/s allen bolts in after cutting an allen key down in hight to get it in, but it worked a treat. I've got some new fork springs coming from USA complete with the tool so if in the future others want to change their springs I will start the send it round to others, who can then send it on. :D :D

Hi duffy, Yes I'm waiting for them to come. I find the front end bottoming out when braking on hard down hills. and I'm off to northern italy this july I think a good front end is :D in order.
