Good Luck with your stem, which ever route you go
I pulled the shaft last night and its twisted at the top of the splines
The front wheel was bent alot worse than I thought also. I beat on it for a while after I saw how much a replacement stock wheel cost and its straight enough for tahuya now. Im thinking maybe about those flexx handlebars and a stem that can bring the grip level 1" or 1 1/2" higher than stock. I will post a pic of the twisted spines later.
Thank you for the welcome. and the reason the new guy was higher in the jump photo was becouse he was getting ready to crash later that day.

I have not owned them but have tried them out ...they are the best comfort investment you can buy...If I were setting up another bike I would buy them before shocks....as far as over kill...the ability to still feel your hands after a couple hours of riding is worth it....

You in need of more stuff to watch on the boob tube? I got enough to kill a year's time in the recliner. Came in handy during my recovery from knee surgery, even though being stuck in the recliner pretty much guarantees you will hate that recliner PDQ.
