We should have a database of modifications
Written by rudyg1937 on 4/15/2012 at 11:15 am

I have the Progressive springs with 10wt synthetic fork oil. I mention
synthetic as I noticed a difference going from dino to synthetic. This is a mod
I have made in both of the 98's I have had and it makes a very noticeable
difference.
I have Works Performance shocks on the rear. Highly recommended.
Yes, I have the All Balls tapered roller bearings. Some say not necessary. My
first PC had a deceleration wobble at 12,000 miles so I put them in and it was
gone. Sure, tightening the stock bearings may fix it but I saw wear in those
when I pulled them and the tapered should be final. Have not readjusted them
since install and I used the fish scale adjustment I have posted here many times
instead of tightening to a set torque.
