Just got done replacing the old front tire on the Gold Witch with a Conti Go. I decided to replace the fork springs with Progressives. Just took it out for a short ride and I am very happy. I was having a lot of brake, and engine brake, dive and that is almost eliminated. That was worth the money right there. I also had a good amount of chopiness in the front end. The new springs has not eliminated that altogether but it is much better. The front also seems to sit higher and that is one of the things I was hoping to accomplish.
I am always leary of new tires since back in the day I put a new set on a bike and skidded right through a curve and almost took out a fence. They will scrub down soon enough. But I do have a relief knowing that old tire is off there. Will be doing the rear in a couple of weeks.
The new speedometer cable is making a lot of noise so I have to work on that, but I am happy with what I got done this week. Don't ever want to mess with the fork caps again. About lost my religion on that.
