John, Thanks for the offer! I could definitely use a 600 shock if you are not using it. I will be at Grattan first part of July. Kozy, all jello or mud use is reserved for ME... you are on your own! Bill, that sux about Road America... come out the week before the Grattan National and play... I wanna see if i can hang in the draft for a second or two before you take off on me! I got the "well, can we swap front ends back and forth from the Gixxer to the stock between track days?" question today. My reply used many conjugations of the F-bomb! I think i am gonna play around with different ideas to find a good compromise. I doubt i will be allowed to ride it much, but when i do, i wanna make sure it is right! thanks again to all for your input, and if you see me snooping around your SV, i am not robbing parts, just looking to see how things are done!
