Whack!
I replaced my O2 sensor this weekend, and while I was in the process of pulling things apart, I noticed this on the right fork tube...

Yeah, well... this is what happens when you take it off pavement. It's all part of the fun!

I looks like it is on the back side, is it hitting something at full lock or as it travels up?

Yeah... its on the back side. I can't see anything that it could hit, even slamming the stop. One of those mysteries.
Have a line on a couple of complete right tubes... lets see how that goes. At least changing the O2 sensor made a differrence. Today, for the first time all winter, the exhaust was blowing a nice steam cloud. Cat is actually working, so things were lean enough.
