Tiger without rear suspension

I've been riding the tiger lately with the new Phase II Rear Suspension rebuild from Suspensions By Sasquatch.

So far it's like riding a new bike. The only thing that doesn't feel new is the FRONT suspension *sigh*

I haven't set the sag or played with the rebound or preload at all. Need to do that. But it's simply an amazing transformation.

I am glad you like it.

I can fix that front end for you as well.  Or more likely, set you up with the parts and you can do it yourself to save on labor.

I might take you up on that. She feels "forward sloppy" and seems to waver up front a bit. Might just be prejudice from my '96 Sprint, which has had a complete rebuild of the front end in 2006?

Turns out the front end is less sloppy now that I replaced the tires. The old tires were 7 years old.
