    81 1100e fork adjustment

    The fork adj. clickers 1-4. I get skittish when going 100+ & i'am kind of leary about switching around the front & back settings for fear of speed wobble. I'ts been 120 easy w/plenty left but I chickened out wondering about wob. I know to match ft. & rear click for click. Something that would set my mind at ease is if anyone could confirm for me both fork settings. My question is do both forks measure clicks clockwise or opposite each other? P.S. psi

    Wow, speed wobbles at 100+.How's the underwear holding up? Our bikes were actually thought of as pretty good handlers back in the day, but I don't think I'd do any high speed runs on the original thirty year old plus shocks and forks. On my 83 1100 ESD I replaced the shocks, rebuilt the forks (progressive) and all the bearings: that cured the wobbles I had on deceleration. and it made a world of difference in the handling. I'd check there first.

      mawg. I think over the winter I will overhaul the suspension & replace the wheel bearings, it's all orig. from 81 & is probably due.

        Don't forget to check the swing arm and steering head. Good luck!
