Welcome aboard and a bit of advice for when you trailer your motorcycle the next time. There is no need to strap down so tight on the forks. The straps will hold the bike just as tight if you just snug them up.

Things happen to fork springs and seals that cost money to replace. And good luck with the new bike.

Bike looks to be in pretty good shape. Enjoy!
And +1 on less compression on the forks - nice pickup.

Welcome to the DMF!

There's a pretty active DFW group if you look at the local boards.  We have a number of meet ups, rides, tech sessions, and plenty of shenanigans.
