Hard10's now digging through all the couch cushions looking for change as his future suspension upgrades now involve both ends of the motorcycle. At least that way you don't have to decide which end to do first.

It's not like I didn't believe what all the guys before were saying about the Traxxion upgrade, but sadunbar's report and another one I read somewhere around here recently have me doing the same thing.  Even after (brief) rides on a couple of different member's bikes last year that had the Traxxion front-end, I was able to talk myself out of going ahead with this (expensive ) upgrade.  But this is just one of those mods where you consistently hear zero negative reports and all glowing positive remarks.

With all that above said, get off the hip and get er done!

Ya know Brian, I was the same way. I rode Chief's around Atlanta and couldn't really tell a $1200 difference. It seems though that I may have been premature in that assessment. There sure does seem to be  a lot of people with them that are happy. Now I haven't heard anyone give it the glowing review that I gave Puzzled's $25 chrome shifter spacer.

If  you really want to be convinced you have to do it (the comparison) in reverse order.  The difference is real; no kidding.  And it really is significant.  It does make the bike handle a lot better.  But if you really want to be shown how much you need to ride one with the change for awhile.  Get used to it being there.  Then get back on a stock bike.

The SERG is actually much much better stock then the SEEG was.  It's really not bad.  But it's still a night and day difference in the front compared to the SEEG.

That's what I need to do then.  Granted, Thumper handles MUCH MUCH better now than she did before AK-20s and Bitubos, but I've become accustomed to having a nice riding machine since those mods.  I recall statements from those who rode her before the mods.......after having same mods done to their machines.........and their responses were those of "Henry, you desperately need to take Thumper to Traxxion Dynamics and have the AK-20s installed."  Maybe when I do ride a stock bike again, the difference will be more dramatic.  Right now, it is normal, but damn sweet!

I have been trying to schedule getting to Memphis for sometime now to do a comparison ride on Elvis. I put a lot of sweet miles on that bike and it's hard to imagine it could be any better, but Mark swears it is and I believe him. (just want an excuse to ride Big E again  )

Simsalabim.

Ok, who would have thought I'd join a motorcycle forum and it would increase my vocabulary, but this word isn't even in Merriam-Webster Online dictionary. However it did suggest sinsemilla as possible the word I was trying to spell.

It may be of Twolanerider dialecto??  Is there a Twolanerider-Webster Online version?? 

[Fired00d]

Howie,
You're probably right. Unfortunately there is no online dictionary (other then here when he sees it and replies to what the meaning is).

Dood, don't be a literal dinglefart.  Simsalabim is the secret word Brian told me I always had to remember to get a ride on Elvis.  If he's going to visit the bike in Memphis now that Elvis is living there I thought he might need to use it himself.

I should have listened to BB earlier and not read the whole thread first. But alas, I went straight to the online dictionary also and came up with:
stizolobium

noun
genus of tropical herbs and woody vines having trifoliate leaves and showy flowers in axillary clusters [syn: genus Mucuna]

Sometimes I have no other choice when it comes to your posts. Besides I was more impressed w/the word it suggested I was trying to spell.... maybe  a flashback or something I just can't remember.

Sinsemilla?  You mean you got this old and never knew about magic pot?
