Re: [ST] Suspension upgrade

Emile,

I just installed a set of ST emulators and Wilbers Progreessive springs 
in the front of my 01 ST.  If you are careful, no drill press is 
required.  But a vise to hold things is needed.  Took about 1 hour for 
the first one and about 20 minutes for the second leg.  Easier than it 
looks I thought.  Just need to get the rest of the bike back together 
and give it a try.
