Last week got Osco's assistance and we changed out the old nasty thin fork oil in my XL1200C. Went to Screamin' Eagle Heavy oil; and added a coupla' one-inch spacers (for more pre-load) too. Far superior setup for my size.
I was actually already pretty happy before the change, but afterwards, man! What a difference!
So this is how shocks are supposed to work! The improvement was nearly unbelievable...
Now today, I added my fork brace, and whammo... another breakthrough!


The front end feels heavier and more solid than ever before. Nice! All that little fiddly motion is gone, and honest to God, it feels almost like my bud's Dyna WideGlide!
The improvement in handling provided by these two simple chores is more'n worth the money and time!
Feels like a new (diff) bike, again (that's twice within a week).
