    Tweaked suspension?

    Just let the Hobbs auto suspension team straighten it for you! Though it's a little less "acceptable" than GMD's techniques.

    At least it's mostly straight now.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Done that, but it's better to at least release the pinch bolts and tighten em back up. My EX was so bent that during a session on track the forks would tweak themselves into the PLRR (position of least rolling resistance)

    The front end was tweaked to the left, so I slid in a set of known straight forks. It was still off, so we kicked the shit out of it. Now it's straight as an arrow! Well, maybe not an arrow.

    It'll go back to twisted as soon as you ride it.

    That sucks. I figured since it got tweaked from a smack, it'd get untweaked with one. Oh well. Someday I'll have a racebike worth GMDing.

    You're out of your damn mind. That thing's too fast for an airport, nevermind Loudon. I'll use the hawk for a bit longer, then upgrade. To something MILDLY faster/more crazy. I have a few ideas.

    Why don't you just work with the straight triple clamp and forks I brought over? Before you start kicking the straight ones let’s talk $.??? I don't want to be accused of giving you bent ones.....
