I have a 2003 7300 and I have done a lot of changing to it. If you plan of doing any distance riding, say more that 10 miles or so, that suspension fork will suck the life out of you, especially when going up hill. I would also seriously look at getting rid of the suspension post. If you have any size on you, it will just bottom out anyway. The twist gearing handles suck and I changed mine to rapid shift. Much better option in my opinion.

I put a rigid fork on mine and got a much better seat post and I have taken the bike on 50 mile rides. They did not have the FX series when I got mine otherwise I would have gone that way. Think about your future riding before you pull the pin on the 7000 series.
