    Steve,

    How long did they take to do it? Was it an all day event?

    I also have read somewhere that periodic maintenance is more frequent with the Traxxion front suspension upgrade. Is that true?

    Will,
    I arrived at ~1130.
    Tech test rode Isleen and she went into surgery at noon.
    Got a tour of the place
    (very interesting! They make ALL their own parts on CNC machines there for Quality Assurance and then Penske actually assembles the shock & cartridges)
    Went to lunch.
    Done by 1530.
    Test ride and I was out the door by 1600.

    First class outfit there.

    Periodic maintenance:
    25k replace fork bearings as required
    50k service entire system
    So, 25k intervals....not bad.
    I haven't bounced it against the scheduled maintenance plan in my owner's manual yet.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    wait until you get to the Dragons Tail or another tight twistie....

    THEN you'll find out what that system is for, Steve.

    An aside: keeping my eyes open for an F6B-D GOOD condition, lower miles.

    Thank you sir!
    I did have some serious fun with Isleen on Blood Mountain and the Richard B Russell highways.

    As far as used F6Bs are concerned, here is a link to members selling theirs:

    James,
    I will have to find a foundry that can make some brass doo-dads the size of yours before I can accept your offer.
    Then I will have to learn to use them.

    However, one doesn't get better without chasing someone better, so let's do it.
    I can be in NW Georgia inside of 6 hours.....when I'm not teaching. Lol.

    Cheers,
    Steve
