[ST] Thanks for GenMan Help, and Race Tech



First, thanks for everyone's comments about the GenMar install.  For my
2001 Sprint ST, I did not need a longer hose.  I re-routed the hose so that
instead of going around the right hand fork tube, it goes directly from the
master cylinder to the right caliper.  There is more than enough slack.

I also took this opportunity to put Race Tech springs (1.0 kg/mm) and Gold
Cartridge Emulators (2.5 turns of pre-load) with 15WT fork oil.  I also
dropped the fork tubes about 5mm (should have gone 8mm).  The whole job
took me about 4 hours of work, including plastic removal (I removed
everything from the front end to make it easier and to visually inspect
everything).  Man, what a difference in front end feel, and I haven't even
pushed it yet (like there's anywhere in Illinois to really push a bike).  I
wish October would get here so that I could head down to Deals Gap....maybe
I'll have to throw in a trip down to Arkansas as a test run.  :-)

Anyway, thanks again for the information everyone.
