Cartridge Emulators + Front end rebuild - What to replace?

[80gs1000e]

Well well....

Another amazing 12 hour day @ Joe's custom speed shop....a fully catered event with performances by Frank Zappa and Black Sabbath. I even got some bonus tech support from Bob of Baatfam Productions!

The "stiction" issue was 100% the telefix fork brace. I must have tweaked it back @ track day when I went down. Took it off and the front forks came right up. Too late to turn back now...

Broke down the front end and installed new seals & other bits, Race Tech cartridge emulators and my Tarozzi fork brace. Got my new Ikons on the rear and went for a late night test ride.

WOW!!!! It doesn't even feel like the same bike. I can hammer the front and it comes back up smoothly...not like a pogo stick. The rear feels very planted and again, no pogo stick punching back up. I only took it around the hood a few times so I can't wait to get it out for a real ride.

Many and multiple thanks to Joe and Cathy for always taking care of me and also to Bob for his help. You guys are amazing and I would be screwed without you....'sniff sniff'

I suspect your main stiction issue is that POS fork brace.

Go figure.....

I'm the one who should be crying. If you only knew how many hours I have spent working on Dom's bike and how inept he is.........Quite an uphill gardener!
