    I like it!

    As for your fork question.... I run 15w oil and 15lbs in mine. and I carry ALOT of weight in my fairing. CB, Mic control box, Stereo, speakers, MP3, GPS, and what ever is in my pockets goes in the glove box.... and I ride 2 up most the time on it. I've gone down far as 7... too squishy! and I've gone as high as 20... 20 works but is a little stiff when riding single. 15 seems to be a happy medium.

      I'd love to make my SG a touring machine, or even upgrade the stuff on my G.
      The only reason I thought of you is location, location, location. You're just a few (hundred or so) miles up the road, so I could possibly drive up to get them instead of shipping.

      But alas, money is tight, bills must be paid, and that doesn't leave a whole lot left over for a project bike.
      But the work gods might be smiling on me and i might get some overtime in the next 2 weekends, so there may be a few extra bucks available.
      I just have to convince SWMBO to let me spend some of MY hard earned money.
      Hey George,
      I was told a Day late and an Inch short YMMV
      Just take the money out of the housekeeping and live on Kraft Dinner till it balances BUT please paint those bags some colour other than white
