Clearly, something had to be done with those wet-noodle LTD forks. I reckon some 90 wight oil could have done the trick, but why bother with simple and cheap when I could spend a pile of money on something much more complicated, like the forks, triple clamps, stem, handlebars, wheels and complete brake system from a 1995 GPz1100?
 
Cool project. following along.

A balloon strategically tied to the forks works, too. I was warned about lutefisk by a Finnish friend. A couple of years later, I moved to Minnesota, where they had a vat of that stuff at the end of every smorgasboard. Smelled like somebody boiling dirty gym socks.

I sense an innuendo there Texas. But you pulled it off so eloquently without evin being rude, just a hint of bragging though. Well played.

    Perhaps I missed the innuendo, or perhaps you missed the decimal between the fives.
