okay, i am going to preface this by saying that a) i am at the best of times a middlin' B rider and there is no way i will ever outride my stock suspension, and b) i am totally happy with the way my '10 300 handles. it is far and away the best turning bike i have ever owned, and after the sachs forks had some break in time, i even got used to the way they were working enough to tolerate them most places without complaint.
but still, i'm a geek, and i like nice stuff. and i noticed that the awesome turning manners tended to come at the expense of a bit of headshake when coming off the throttle in higher gears. also, i had a couple people who are the salt of the earth good folks offer me some deals i couldn't pass up.
now, i am happy as a pig in shit (albeit a pig with a taste for gold anodized aluminum and a newly reduced wallet size). i have no reason to ever complain about anything ever again as far as the front end of my bike is concerned. haven't had a chance to even fire it up yet because work has me well and truly by the balls, but i had to show it off somewhere. thanks for reading! :
