Got some K-Tech cartridges installed Monday, that with the cogent dynamics rear and it's like riding on a cloud. Of course now that it's all sorted in the suspension department I got a foot of snow this morning.

As my paws are too fat/short I use extended needle nose pliers, also had to use them to get the top bolt back in during replacement.

New shock arrived from Cogent Dynamics today, install was quick. Took it for a quick ride and very happy with the results.

I added new adjustable levers (RideItForever levers from rideitmoto.com) I do not suggest you use this brand! The mounting point is loose and feels like they got the specs wrong, ended up using a combination of the new lever end to get desired length and the old lever attach point to get around this issue. Filled the bars with bar buzz kill, which is a silicone product that contains little beads that supposedly absorb vibration this stuff works pretty good but I suspect that BBs or buckshot work similarly for quite a bit less cost. (I didn't see the BB idea until after I had purchased this stuff)

Ordered one last week, still waiting on delivery. When I bought a new seat for my old M50 I remember thinking I wasted my money at first but after a decent break it it was quite a bit better. Would hope the same on this. Definitely let us know what you think after a few more long days.
