Phase 1 is complete with both the 08 triple tree and the Bike were digitized. Then the trees were swapped and the springs were updated with the newer compound wound ones. During this process we changed the fork oil weight from the H-D 39 senistoke to a Red Line 30 senistoke allowing for finer dampening adjustments.
Phase 2 I lost my Z2 Track day, but put about 125 "Twisty" miles on the Sonoma County Coast line. It handles like a dream just skips over the small bumps and Is Rock Solid at $110. It's been way too many years since I have pitched an bike into a turn on gravel. But since our shop is located at Infineon Raceway and at the far end down by Turn 7 there are a few thousand yards unpaved, I took a ride down there. All I can say is at least now this thing doesn't scare the crap out of me if it hits something loose.
Next is to remeasure the bike and the old tree and plot the delta then have Shawn take a few Hot Laps. I already have three of these Mod's sold so I need to get the technical stuff done soon. .... Terry
