    Should have my forks back from Harvey this week and out bashing this coming weekend. I can't wait!

    edit: the BBT arrived today and I installed the rebuilt & revalved forks from Harvey @ Aces. Left everything set as-is and took a spin. HOLEY MOLEY, what a flaming POS the stock 45mm setup was! I knew it was bad but had forgot what a really great frontend actually felt like (why I don't ride new bikes).They work perfectly:applause: :cheers: and turnaround time was very quick.
    I'll have a more comprehensive report after I change the rear spring tomorrow and shake everything down on Saturday but I'm a very happy camper. Should have done this when I first bought the bike, guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

    cheers,

    Mike

    P.S. Harvey was telling me about a Senior A rider that used his TE610 in a harescramble, the rider that normally placed around 2nd ended up placing 4th or 5th in that race. Norm, was that you?

    I put just over 150mi mixed riding this past weekend and I'm amazed at how well the forks work. Once I get the rear spring that Harvey recommended changed out I think the suspension will be about perfect :applause: I can't say enough good things about Ace/Bottone, great service and great work!

    Must get mod!:thumbsup:

    If you think the TE forks are bad...you should try the SM!

    Harvey lengthend and revalved my SM forks and they are very good now. They were hard as a rock stock....every bump made the front wheel bounce off the road.
