Thinkin i felt some vauge sideways movement from th front shocks for some time now, I took th front shocks apart for an inspection. It seemed ah little unstable at triple digit speeds & also at parkin lot speed th feelin of looseness in th sliders persisted. I added Progressive front springs ah few months back thinkin they would cure th slop & loose feelin,i noticed an improvement but not ah complete cure. Well th shocks really weren't in that bad ah shape. There was ah high spot on each tube, shiny on one leg & worn through th chrome ah little on th other leg about half th size of ah dime both sets of bushings were worn some, th top more than th bottom. I did th work at home replacin th tubes,seals,both sets ah bushings, & new dust seals. Th price for th parts was about 250.00$, it was all covered by HONDA under warranty, & my service manager is so cool he even let me borrow his seal driver for th seals.Th front end does seem better now, not drastically better but firmer, tracks better all looseness is gone,& th bike dosen't wander around at 130 like it did before th rebuild.:mrgreen:
