i plan on doing exhaust first since it was cheap, jet kit to go along with it.
then, my forks... gonna send em off, since i don't think i can handle it. Plus i don't wanna get it wrong. I'm a heavy guy
then brakes... then probably the rear shock... probably get the f4i shock modified by JD
Then after that, who knows. Maybe streetfighter the thing. LOL

Meh... EVERYTHING in my mod list just got pushed back.
Has a shinko 009 sport touring tire on the front, and a worn stock tire on the front.
I've heard good things about the shinko 005 advances for the price... thoughts?
I used to use pilot sports

Ok so this brings up another question I've been pondering. Can a 205 lb. guy get anything close to what you get from a front end swap by simply having the stock forks done up (springs, valves etc.) changing calipers and adding a fork brace?

with standard forks, respringing and setting sag is much easier than proper jetting.

I did the forkswap because I started getting (the wrong) parts cheap, then I had half the right ones, so I went ahead and got all the right ones..

Are either of these guys "doing fork work" in California by chance? I found a shop called throttle worx (or works) here in Sacramento that claim to be great fork builders. Any suggestions on how one knows where to go if they don't want to attempt a rebuild themselves, other than the obvious Greg or Jamie?

Honestly, I think you'll find Jamie or Greg to be cheaper than the local shop. At the very least, less risky. By that I mean that they have spent a lot of time on THIS motorcycle, and this Throttle Works place has probably never heard of a Superhawk.

If you're a big guy I have a set of revalved and resprung forks and shock done by Lindemann (http://www.le-suspension.com/) that I'm going to be selling in a month or so. I'm even close as I'm in the East Bay area.
If you are going to have your stuff done I would either recommend Jim Lindemann or Dave Moss at Catalyst Reaction (http://www.feelthetrack.com/) to build it.
