Re: [ST] Suspension upgrade



The big difference is a real Cartridge type front fork! That makes a 
huge improvement. Better rear shock, and the rake on the front end is 
steeper.. all combine for a way better handling bike. Now get rid of 
the heat and improve the bags and mounts, and Triumph will have nailed it :-)
