formyself, the front was all it needed... maybe start with the front only and see how that works for you.

The rear spring should be good for a 180 lb rider. If you are much more than that, do the rear also. HT did both the front and rear on his bike - makes big difference in handling.

What he said

The fork springs are definitely the weak link. We have guys over here in Japan replacing both shock andfork springs, but that's mainly for the D-tracker.

i'm a complete IG addict so it hurts me every time he calls my beloved FMF powerbomb the powerjoke. it's real - no joke (although i'm sure all systems offer similar improvement). piping and jetting really opened the bike up. dosen't stick out too far, i had her on her side quite a few times with no damage.

He has no clue what he's talking about. This confirms why it's important to call IG on his BS.
