I have "heard" of that same rearend leak problem but haven't seen it . But the handling will improve with the addition of both front springs, they need a 1-1 1/2" spacer and 12.5-13 " shock in rear rear. There is a wirte up in Guzziology.

I am curious to hear what the group has to say about this....
"I understand there is a downside to using 12"ers
(fluid running from trans. to rear drive?)"
Has this actually been a problem for anyone? I have had 12" shocks on th Bronze Beauty for two years now and it's been fine.....I like a lower seat height on my bikes,... I put the lower shocks on to achieve this, not thinking that it could create problems, and as of yet, it hasn't. Any other insight on this subject?
