I would like to do both but right now only have the cash for 1. Should I do the clamps to improve the headshake or do the suspension first and go from there? I have a GPR in the mail right now as well.

If I had known about the E-Bay kit I would have tried it first. Fix the forks and spring for your weight. Probably .44 & pds 3. I tried a straight rate rear and did not like it. Just my opinion.:uh:
I did it that way too, RetSenior. I also put stiffer springs in both ends right away plus the Scott's damper. No headshake, great suspension and turning.
Strick...I run the 16's. I had to buy a prototype set because the production models were not going to be out for a few more months when I bought them and I wanted them for the arrival of the bike. Just missed you last year at Elkins Flat. I got their just after you left the Saturday morning or afternoon ride. I'm going to try and make it but it's just like your Reno ride, I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I work 4 on 4 off. 2 day shifts then 2 night shifts then 4 days off so my days off change 1 day every week. I'm going to try and take Saturday off so I can ride all day Saturday and up to Sunday afternoon.
John...Glad to see I'm not the only Rebel out here. I liked the stock springs better with the stock valves. When I put in the stiffer springs the forks became harsh with any oil height. I had it revalved for me with the stiffer springs and all is good now. Plush throughout with no hard bottoming out.
