Yeah I was thinking of doing the springs in my 14 but when I read the job, i decided to pay someone that KNOWS how its done. Its my life riding on those forks. Its already a big bike so im sure the forks are working pretty hard and if a F the job up who knows what could happen lol.

pay a shop $175-200 isnt worth your life.

true. also what could cause the front end to be really shakey when i get on it? headset bearing possibly?

[Big_Red]

"Get on it" meaning WOT or close to it? Could be a bad front tire? Is the tire new? It doesnt have a steering stabilizer does it?

[clumsy_smurf]

new tire, and the 05 gsxr 600's came with a stabilizer. but i changed out the oil in it to have a better feedback.
