OK...The ring has been installed and my man advised that the springs that come in the Carpenter kit are stronger than the heavy duty springs that were initially installed...I believe that this mod will accomplish what I want it to do...Haven't picked the bike up yet it's still at the shop...Really don't have a desire to get it right now got to put alot of hours in at work...Once I get it back I just need to adjust the fuel and put the fairings on...Oh I forgot I've got to clean her up...Nobody likes a nasty girl...
