As I get more and more into this 88 K100 I'm thinking about what I can do to give it a better feel.The ride is harsh.I feel every bump in the road especially on concrete road .The rear shock looks to be stock and I adjusted it to the softest setting but it still sucks.I also think I might like to replace the fork springs ,at least change out the fork oil to something lighter.This bike hops over cracks in the road and if I hit a hole it's downright scary . I am thinking Progressive 412 .Anyone try these? Any recommendations of fork oil weight and amounts? In other news,I ordered the new shoes today .I went with the Avons and will be fitting them early next week when they arrive.
