I just overhauled my forks, new wheel bearing, brake pads, and neck bearings. For the milage I have on this lady, she needed it. Drives like a new prom queen now. I still have to change radiator hoses and thermosat and check the valve before I'm finished.

Did you install new fork springs Mr B, stock or aftermarket? Were the head bearings stock or aftermarket?

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.
