Bike is '92 ST1100 ABS. I apologize ahead of time because I know the topic has been beaten to death, but I've read through a bunch of threads already and feel like I'm more confused now than I was to begin with.
I just bought the bike last week, has 73,000 miles, and the front end is in desperate need of an overhaul. Right fork leg is leaking, so in addition to new seals, I figured I'd go ahead and throw in some new springs, oil and bushings while I'm at it. Seems like there are so many options, and I really want to buy the right stuff the first time around.
Here is what I'm after: I'm about 165lb without gear, will very rarely ride two-up, looking for a decent compromise between a comfortable ride for commuting on the freeway, but still stiff enough to handle the occasional twisties adequately. This bike is not my "canyon carver" - got another bike for that. Oh yeah, and I'd prefer to keep the cost on the budget side.
Really would prefer to buy everything I might need at one time so my downtime is limited. Already have a new front tire on the way. Can you guys help me with my shopping list?
