For a minute, I thought you were putting some pork on the table !

I have been wanting to go boar hunting.
I've hunted boar in Parkfield CA at the Jack Ranch http://www.jackranchwildpighunts.com/...but back to the bike.

Yes, I re-drilled the KW flair 1 3/4" still not high enough, but ok for around town and have an idea that taxfree is helping me with, if it works I'll let everyone know.
I finally got to run some rough roads last night and I am impressed, I really did not expect much by only doing the ADV shim as it was just the first part of the mods I'm planning on doing to my frontend. I did notice a slight more dive to the frontend when the rear brakes are applied hard, but the jarring I'd get when hitting bumps while on the rear brake are gone.
I believe when I change out the neck stem bearings to the "All Balls" tapered roller bearing kit http://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion
add a lower fork brace, change to some 2.8 kg springs while upping the fork oil to 10 or 12 wt.(OEM is 7 wt.) decrease the air head space in the forks to 125 mm I should have the forks in the middle of their stroke and not near the bottom as I have now, all this with the max setting on the rear shock should get me the Cadillac ride I want and still be sure footed when I play.

And play I did last night, not many hogs out, but the few I did see turned tail and hid in the bar when I cracked the throttle and the Jekill & Hydes barked at them to come play.
