OK guys, I'm a crazy fella who likes to do stuff unconventional. I've seen some bikes with spring over their forks. I know this will greatly stiffen the front end...... I've completely rebuilt my forks back to factory specs. I did use a heavier oil, can't remember the whieght, but I'm very dis-satisfied with the dumpiness of the front end. I replaced my rear shocks and lowered the rear with the 250 Rebel shocks. I'm not going for any particular style or looks, just something mild custom, bobberish, but not too wild. I have the original rear shocks and have been measuring the springs and really thinking about mocking up this mod just to see. Should be completely reversible so what the heck. I have fork gaitors on the bike now, im thinking I can actually cover my springs with the gaitors also........I'll keep everyone posted and pics.......until then, who here has done this mod & give me some pros and cons on handling, cornering, ect.....
