Wow, that is extremely useful to hear, Patron!! Thank you. Can I ask what it has cost you in parts and labor to replace all of that? If replacing those items were less than, say, $1k, I might just take the gamble. But given the high cost, I am very reluctant, especially given your feedback...

I see what you are saying, but I'm not sure how realistic it is for me to find a stock 100 cruiser with totally restored suspension to go experience. Based on the feedback in this thread, I gather that replacing all of the rubber items at once, and anything else that is really bad on...
