Default I owned my bike

too many newbie wheelies when i was learning and all the canyon/endo abuse finally led to blown fork seals....well i have a trackday coming up at the end of february so i had to get this badboy fixed... except if something breaks i dont usually fix it, i upgrade

so my bike is in the shop now getting my forks revalved and i'm getting racetech springs, new seals and ohlins oil

well i didnt want the front to feel so nice while my rear has been feeling like **** lately (when leaned over and on the throttle my rear end feels squirrely as hell!) so i said why not....

its still to cold for me I'm going to start going when spring semester is over (school on weekdays and work on weekends) and when I get some more stuff done to the bike (rework the forks and find rotors for my magtek front wheel). You'll have fun with PTT....went to their august Thill day and had a blast.

wow! the reworked forks & ohlins makes my bike feel sooooo much better, even without being setup for my weight exactly yet...the rear end is much more stable in left-right transitions..... and the rear feels PLANTED.. gotta love it.
