[QUOTE="MajBach, post: 1291110, member: 27289"] Just as an update on my endeavor, I am almost certainly going to have Jay at Sasquatch work on the bike. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced with FJRs and certainly sets the bar on customer service. I still haven't decided whether or not to rebuild the rear shock and add a beefier spring or to upgrade it to an aftermarket. A lot of riders here seem to really like the Penske 8983. As I understand it, this will give me compression and rebound adjustments over the stock unit and raise the bike and inch and a half? Is this correct? Only other decision I need to make is whether or not to make the ride to Boise ( a trip I am sure I will enjoy ) or to send him my parts. I've never taken the forks off before and wonder if I would be biting off more than I can chew. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
