I have a set of half worn GT's here - I don't get on with them at all, that lack of feel that you describe makes me very uncomfortable...
Agree about the front - I ended up going up in fork juice weight which helped a little, but it gets a little chattery on those ribs from trucks. As for the rear, the stock shock starts out overly stiff and it works the oil hard, so you end up with over sprung and little real damping. Hence ruining rears quickly. How much did you spend on the fork upgrades and Nitron?
No worries. If I don't sell mine (so many tire kickers), I'll ship it across; but to get it past the roadworthy inspection I need it to be 100% stock. I'm short one pipe.

I spent about $3k, or about$3.5k if you count getting the original shock serviced and valved. Best money spent. I also put an R1 throttle tube on which is a good mod plus a zero gravity double bubble and zero gravity seat, which is a bit narrower than stock. I got the pillion seat redone with extra padding and antislip material. The wife really rates it for comfort, even at speed.

R1 throttle tube cuts down on the amount of turn needed, a quicker action throttle. Try it, I think you will like it. I have an R6 tube on my 600. Brilliant mod.

I think it was highly optimistic . I didn't have blue hair but I did have a blue Blackbird for 8 years but it didn't get me any invites to the swinging set. And any sore bits on the way home from a ride was down to the OEM seat. My wife was marginally happier after I'd fitted a Rider brand seat but the high rear pegs meant she was half-crippled after a decent trip and nookie was the last thing on her mind.
Must say I enjoyed the excellent write-up though!!
is the motor in the b king the same motor is is it detuned?
