Hi Guys! Long time no post. My Dad, although still riding, gave his 919 to me. It needs serious suspension overhaul, upgrade. I know this topic has been discussed in many years gone past, but product lines are deleted, etc.

What and where can I get new internals for the front, as well as new tubes (upper).
What is available to outright replace the rear.
The bike is to be used two up as well.
I'm assuming the US would be the best place to buy required items.

So the 180 is you in gear or did you account for luggage? I have a heavy tank bag and trunk, so if I should probably add for those? Did you buy the 2nd spring from the same vendor?

Me plus luggage. And I'm sorry, but my figures have been out by one step on the scale. My shock arrived with a 180 spring (=1028 lbs in another measurement) and I changed it out for a 200 spring (=1142 lbs). 200 was the upper end of the range so that was the only option.

Yes, same vendor for the 2nd spring. I had to dig around in their website to find it, but it was there.

Hey!

Been a bit busy lately.

Still dealing with cancel culture. Some political activists working for the City of Sacramento are trying to take my house because they say that I have the wrong political view. They've fined me for how fast the grass grows, having storm damage during a storm and they said my paint is too old. They've racked up about some $4.5K/mo over about 6 years plus interest.

This whole woke / cancel crap is a real nightmare and it doesn't look like very many people are willing to stand up and do something about it.

So I'm getting ready to raise awareness of what they're doing to see if I can save my house.

Was also thinking about reworking the bike. She's got over 50K miles now and could use a going thru.

I heard Dan Kyle passed on, very sorry to hear that.

Good to hear from you bro.

That's nuts! It is worldwide. We are really in scary times at the moment. The funny thing is that a lot of the Californians who are leaving CA due to the state of things, are causing the same problems were they go. You'd think they'll learn that what they were doing or voting for in CA, didn't work. I guess it's a testament to their intelligence, or lack thereof.
