for $ 330 and use stock valving it sounds like a plan for now. i assume that you can still set front spring sag by shimming the springs.i dont like being a cheapass,but the total purchase, mods,new pirelli angel gts,and prog springs total $5000. I could have bought a dif kind of touring bike allready set up for my needs cheaper but I wanted a 97 BB. I owned a new one in 97 and rode it 2 seasons and sold it.nothing I have owned or ridden has compared since. ill prob upgrade the front fork and rear shock to a prof set up after market down the road.
