Well, you certainly copped a whole lot of repairs in one go, but I'm pleased for you that it's all sorted and handling much better. What year is your bike and what's the mileage?

It's like a bandaid get it all done at once

I'll be getting a new head bearing next week too, and front fork service (bushes, sliders and seals)
Cant wait to feel the difference.

If you would like to take the 13 for a ride at any stage by swapping with the 11 , i am close by if the mood takes you. She is my only transport ( don't need a car ) & is closing in on 136k rapidly .
Nearly farkled to death in preparation for Ballarat.....but has room for improvement :eek

After seeing Abe's other red st11 ( new white st13 ) at Inverell i have been farkling myself silly.
Shiney is also equally to blame for emptying my wallet
(highway blades purchased,windscreen next item on the list ).
Oddly enough it has made me wash & clean the bike every week out of sheer guilt :-[
