Should be here next week and planning to do it the following week. Contacted Jeff and will let him know when it shows up to set up a time. During the week works best for me while the kids are at day care.

What works for you?

I agree the doo is a must!! I did mine with 16k on the clock. Luckily my spring and doo were still intact. I did notice the doo had been adjusted once, not sure if that has anything to do with it not breaking  ???

All done ;D  New break lines, Doo Hickey, and new thicker fork oil. All works good except the forks feel like stock now and might be because I did not add any air? Thicker oil should have stiffened them up so I will play with them when I get home tonight.

Only bad part of the whole day is my custom windshield is now a broken one. Guess I will go back to the stock one.

Thanks for the help Jeff. I am sure it would have been a very long process if I did it myself. Took a few pics but the ones I have are of Jared getting a close look at his fan and jeff spraying eye wash in his face to get the piece out of his eye ;D Jared is okay.

I have a front fork brace and lowered front fender for sale if any are interested $75.00.

what kind of fork brace is it, and what kind of fender is it?

i've got a brace, but inquiring minds want to know.

I was a custom made cnc brace and I have no idea on the fender. Brace it heavier duty than the ones you normally buy. If your interested I can show it to you.

i'm more just curious.  i'm sure someone can use the fork brace, and the low mount fender.  the more i know about it the easier i can find someone that needs it. 

you may get rid of it this weekend with all the klr's that will be around.

Chad, I'm curious why you want to get rid of the fork brace ???.  The fork brace seems to be one of the few mods out there that most seem to think is well worth it and isn't followed by pages of controversy.  I bolted up an EagleMike fork brace a couple weeks ago and am very glad I put it on there.

You all have a great weekend...wish I could be down there too!!

Not a biig fan of the lack of clearance. Brett had a good idea to install some spacers to get more clearence so I might give that a shot.

Hope that works out for ya..  The first time I saw a fork brace I thought clearance would be an issue but so far I haven't had problems with it.  Suppose if I went mud bogging a bunch and caked it up it would be more of an issue at which time I would go the spacer route as well.
