Hi guys,
been around for a number of years, but don't have a chance to post much. I just moved to Philly for a long term job. Had the Fat lady shipped here. Boy are the roads rough here!!! My wife is tired of  riding behind me and bouncing around. I am getting ready to order Works rear shocks. Since I live in a loft here in Center City, I don't have the room to work on the Lady. I need to change out the front shocks and the seals as well. Is anyone having a wrench party in the Tri-State area anytime soon and who also might have that magical fork tool? I am more than happy to work on the bike, but just don't have the space.
Thanks
Jim

Good choice on rear shocks. I've had mine for several years. Just had to have them rebuilt, but after all the miles, I'd expect that. When you order them, be honest about your total weight, then add 25 lbs for gear. If you ride 2 up lots of the time, order a bit taller than stock for extra suspension travel. Progressive springs in the front may be a bit harsher than stock so keep the 10 weight fork oil or mix it with 5 weight (50/50) to soften the front a bit. I use 15 wt but ride solo almost all of the time.
