Glad to hear you got back home and had a good time!! No tickets is good.... 5 warnings  ..... holy toledo..... Hope we can hit a couple of rallies next year.

Five total warnings or close calls. Twice police flashed there lights at us and twice we had close calls, cops were not paying attention to us were should have been pulled over. The last one was just me and I received a written warning for doing sixteen over the limit. I had just slowed down from doing twenty five to thirty over just a few miles before and was just about to pick it back up when a uhp coming the other way got me.

I am glad no real tickets were issued. Don't need to donate any money to the state. :good2:

Forks worked well. Randy's emulators, the recommended springs and oil. The back was ok, used the Honda F4I shock, under sprung. Too soft and bottomed a lot. If someone put the time in to it you could make this work well. To install the FZ1 shock need to clearance the top shock mount. Need just about 2mm more clearance. The springs are a direct interchange. Just need some time to work on the swap. This looks very promising. Maybe next week I will have some time to work with it. The first shock I ordered the bottoming bumper was shot to change this you must tear the shock apart. So I ordered a second one took them a week and a half to send it after a complaint. After I get this shock worked out then get back to working on swingarm and wheel swap. Want to ride this some and figure out what to do for setup on the gold valve. FJ ran well and no problems other than the fender. Still need to check the total mileage. About 1600 miles.
