    And Glib, the restaurant mentioned, while really good overall, is especially noted for its absolutely wonderful thin crust pizza. Yum.....
    Oh boy! I know you’re on the other side of the country but I just discovered a boutique Italian restaurant in Lodi, CA where the lasagna actually rivals my moms. Bueno Italiano. I’ve never had Italian food outside the family like that before.

      They'll be about perfect for your weight.

      Indeed. A Federici's anchovy pizza is one of mankind's greatest creations.

        When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

          Ready for warmer weather and testing.... brakes done, its back on its wheels.
          Definitely noticed a difference in just heaving off the centerstand. Apparently it sits higher too. It leans farther when on the side stand.

            I noticed an immediate difference coming off the centerstand too. Made me wonder if there was enough sag but it was perfect. You're gonna love it.

              I bought and installed the springs a couple years ago, and now that I think about it, I believe I had ordered 1.0 springs but Sonic was temporarily out of them and suggested the .95. I hope hat didn't mess up your build plans or anything.
              How does .95 springs compare to the RaceTech & SonicSprings spring tool recommendations?

                My memory on these things are a little sketchy, but I believe on Racetechs online calculator they recommended .85 I think stock was something like .65.
