So, my fork sprung a leak.

I think that might be a consequence of the crash. But, no mind. I still have the nice 89 fork.

So, I put it on, with the accompanying brakes, steel braided lines, new Arashi rotors, and the RPM risers.



The sorta odd feel I had of the fork turned left has gone away. Original fork must have suffered in the crash some.

It's pretty dang amazing how solid the bike feels on the road with the properly functioning fork and a newer than stock rear shock (bike came with a Progressive unit).

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
