Hey OD can you send me the "how to" on this bike if you still have it? And anything else you have on this bike it looks great and and after my brother had his accident on his 230 I'm very interested in making it handle better.

Will do! If you don't want to go to the expense of the upside down (USD) fork route, the OEM conventional forks, I understand, can be much improved with the use of the Race Tech emulator system. Note the USD fork conversion has a lot of little unseen mods that have to be done to make it all work correctly. ie relocate the rev box make clearance for the larger triple clamps and make a new steering stop etc. If you want to go the USD fork the Emig steering stem is the easiest, most convenient and, unless you are a machinist or have machine shop in your pocket, the least expensive. The rear disc is not absolutely necessary but the Works Performance or Fox rear shock upgrade is a must.
