Re: [ST] Outed by minivan

[Neil Halbert <halbert@xxxxxxx>]

 I ended up going with the HyperPro front an rear setup $250. Turns out 
I received the wrong rear spring, one for a 05 ST. You still need to be 
careful. There are actually two springs for the pre 05 bikes.There is 
one for the hydrolic preload rear shock and the "other". So, they have a 
correct spring on it's way. In the mean time, they replaced the forks  
and installed the new front springs and oil along with the rest of the 
repairs on the bike and 12K service. Picked up the bike today. I Like 
It. A lot less dive but seems to be soother over sharp bumps where the 
bike would thump before. Seems like a bit of a contradiction. It was 
damp out so I didn't get to push much or ride very long. The stock rear 
seemed to work well with them. It may have been just time away from the 
bike but front didn't seem quite a quick to turn in. Which in hind sight 
might have been expected if you go to a stiffer front. In a car doing 
this will make it push. I should have the new spring on Monday or 
Tuesday. Can't wait.
