He's doing forks, shocks and resprung for his weight. If it is a big improvement, I may jump on baord.

I have feeling the susp upgrade is going to postpone when I will get a 14R. Are you gelling? lol I will be pretty soon. After that it'll be about time to get a new rear... going from 50 to 55 on the corso rossa and the suspension is going to be priceless.

I think almost anyone would benefit from having the fronts redone. To me, seems like the back is okay.

Are you gelling?

Like Magellan!

I've postponed the 14R....indefinitely. Like you, I plan to improve suspension and setup on what I have in the stable already. 14R makes no sense to me, got too much power in my 14 already for the type of riding I do, control is where it's at. That said, I realize I'll never make a 14 corner like a 600 no matter how much money I poor into suspension upgrades.... but it can be improved and highlight the sporting side of this machine nature.

I'm looking into Paul Thede's Race Tech for suspender tweeks, he's got a good reputation with the racing crowd.

According to Dave Moss the zx-10 shock is less than ideal and I'm pretty sure it translate to the 14. I'm an all out guy if I'm gonna get the forks may as well do the shock too.

Let me know what he says we weight almost the same. So it'll be nice to compare. I will also mount a 55 rear.
I'm excited about this upcoming spring. it's gonna get interesting. Rook you should come down, I will try to convince Dogo as well and some texas riders... Bigwillie could bring his 14R. A 3 twisted sisters with some barbecue and "healthy bike debates" would be nice.

That would be cool. It could be a possibility but work is not very flexible with time off. I should have some days coming to me. We'll have to see. If they will let me, I'll run the Texas mile. Don't think I'd pass on that after coming all that way.
