I've used Progressive springs in the front of my 84' Honda Sabre 700 and my 94' Kawasaki ZG 1000 Concours with great results. I made an adapter to install a 01' CBR 1100xx Blackbird shock on the rear of the Sabre. I installed a 02' ZZR 1200 shock on the rear of the Concours by replacing the lower shock bolt. Both bikes handle really well and have been run hard on the North Cascades Hwy 20 to dial them in.
My point is you don't have to spend a bunch of money on fancy high end stuff to really improve the performance of your bike.

Personally I think all of you big people are "abnormally large" . ;D
Just remember, your bike is always faster when I ride it. 8)

That's a 500, rode one years ago, was surprised at the lazy manner of the motor, and the shift lever on the right, rear brake on the left oops.

Very nice.  Did you change the turn signal indicators, or is that how they were imported?

Yes, I changed the indicators. The original ones went gray, plus I got sick of banging into them in a crowded garage. The ones fitted are springy, and don't leave a bruise on the thigh...

Breaking the rebuilt engine in, it's running well, no leaks, smoke, or funny noises, power good, all systems go!

Looks good kat!  Do you like the riding position? The bars look a little high, is that stock?

Agreed, thx Bill.  When I restored this bike, I decided I want to put it back to original, it had funky 4 into twos.

When it's 70 degrees, it helps to remind yourself what all that wrenching is actually for.







1976 GL1000 Goldwing.  Ran like a top.  Bit of an oil leak where I changed the fuel pump, but I know what I have to do to fix it.
