Sounds great, have fun making it suit your style.
I'm still toying with the idea, but have also been making a few tweaks on the connie.
Re-adjusted preloads to 1-1/2" sag front and back, and increased rebound dampening. Already have been running '55 rear tires, and I have a new pair ready to spoon on soon.
Flies came out, which really made a world of difference in how much better it runs and responds.
Splurged on a set of RKA fitted bag liners, and recently had added heated grips.
The 14 really is a tall bike to begin with, and with her new found pizzaz and more dialed ride, I'm having a harder time plotting against her!
