Here is where we are.  New front springs are amazing  Totally correct and a more normal bike feel.  Here's what else I learned about my bike.  The springs that were in it were for a 250cc of some kind I dont recall.  and to stiffen them up they put a spacer in it. A cb 900 front end with the wrong springs in it didnt last long,and to be honest seemed quite dangerous.  New springs dont require a spacer.  

Rear shocks should be here today or tomorrow.  Cant wait
