Thanks for the feedback! I will give it a chance and see how it does.

Yeah, I had mixed feelings at first cuz I didn’t want bootleg parts, but it’s gotta be better than the OEM stuff and I’m now not likely to change it as it looks and works quite well.
Two new questions:
1. The shop gave me a bag with 3 springs in it. Is the FS a nightmare to disassemble and change them out. Worth it?
2. From my reading it appears the rear disc brake howling is a common problem. What is the quick fix?? I rode 2 5.0’s and they both did it, so I doubt the shop can do anything. Is it just a specific pad change to get it working better and shut it up?
Thanks all!
