Well, the parts have been ordered, and will arrive mid-month (at my request.)
1. IKON rear shocks: The 7614 series (part# 7614-1507) has a wide range of pre-load adjustment as the aluminum body is threaded, using locknuts to compress the main spring to adjust it's pre-load. Black shocks, black springs, chrome spring caps, chrome body. With lighter weight of the available IKON springs.
2. Traxxion Dynamics front fork kit consisting of damper rod pre-drilled for the Race Tech emulator, the emulator, appropriate springs and spacers. Supplier took into consideration my weight (160) and how the bike will typically be used (street and light touring) to arrive at spring wt and emulator adjustment.
Wish me luck on this project. All I want is a compliant ride on roads where I currently enjoy riding my Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport and 1991 BMW R100GS. I don't expect GS comfort, but something closer to most of the bikes I've owned over the past 34 years.
If this works for me, I'd like to get in a multi day trip to (?????)
