    Wrong smaller spring is softer compresses first to coil bind compression, with no guide and support of the shock body can bow and bend shaft.
    Only way to keep rocks and dirt out is not to ride it.

    The front fender is painted flat black and NO STICKERS are applied to the black part of the fender for night running. With a pair of halogin off road lights blazing away directly above the fender,(especially a white Husky fender) the reflection and glare is something you do not want to deal with while trying to go fast at night. Some riders also wear a battery powered helmet light and go so far as to paint the inside surfaces of their hand guards flat black for the same reason as the fender...

    I thought that but looking at the fork seal wiper/boot, you'd think you would see the one on the left given where the one on the right is

    I was waiting for the "dog" and I wasn't disappointed.... at that point the dog is rethinking the whole loyalty to your owner thing

    sounds like right up your alley, old school 500 was a killer machine
    I know some great riders if you look into this
    if you attempt this I am interested in the support category, fueling wrenching etc.
