But... is it compression adjustable, and does it have a reservoir. A shock for a 190 lb rider will be too soft, although your stock ones are also probably too soft in that case. If it's compression adjustable you can adjust how soft it is, without it, you have very limited adjustability.

 

I see. Thank you recon for all your help. I will report back with what I come up with and how my mods turn out.

 

Well, I spent 4 hours trying to put jets in my carb. First, WHAT THE H$@# DOES YAMAHA USE TO LOCK THE BOLTS TIGHT? EVERY F#$%#$% SCREW IS STUCK!? Second, How do you install a new main jet in the carb? I thought you unscrewed it, but I cant see any slot for it. I NEED HELP!

 

I finally figured out my jet quandary. I was looking at the wrong piece, but the instructions dont even mention removing the bowl, which is necessary. I got the screws out using a small vice-grips. Also, I found a brand new K&N filter at a garage I was cleaning out, and wanted to fab a collar up for it to run it without the airbox lid. However, It is about half the size of the stock filter. Will it flow enough?
