Good to know, thanks guys. I can adjust my rear shocks on the fly to 14.25" fully extended. And I was already planning to change my fork springs. So I should be fine, very cool. I was considering Progressive fork springs, but I'll have a look to see what Works has to offer.


Thanks again

 

Rich I never had a problem scraping in the area you mentioned, but it did scrape pretty hard in the rear of the pipe. Now I know not just anyone is going to cut up a brand new pipe, but I Did lol. I cut and up swept it a couple inches and haven't had a problem since.

 

Rich another great option for your front end would be Race Tech springs and gold valve emulators.

 

Hey tramp, here's another 2 into 1 option: http://store.bigbearchoppers.com/big...exhaust-pipes/





Yeah, that's ballsy alright. You did a great job on them ... as well as the whole bike. That fugger looks awesome! It looks like you're running fairly long shocks, yet your wheel to fender looks like you're riding lower than stock. Are you using lowering blocks? When I extend my shocks to 14.25", you can see light between the tire & fender.

Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at those right now.

 

My shocks are set a 14". I'm running a late 90's FL swing arm so the lower shock mount is 1.5" further back then the OE FXR arm. The works shocks in that pic are in route for a rebuild at works now. Black springs and setting them up for my weight and so on.

 

Are you ever gonna get that bike done??????????

 

I've got some usable shocks for now Tex. I did get a large chunk of the wiring done this weekend along with all the ***** I have going on.

 

Thunderheader! Get the heatshields too. I waited, but had to buy them after the first ride.

Also racetech fork springs and gold valves make a huge difference. If I redid it, I might go progessive wound to get a little more give- the straight rate 1.1 springs give a seriously sporty (stiff) ride.

 

Up to about 113", a Supertrapp with the tuneable disc system will over-power most other systems, as alnost 20 years of dyno tuning has historically shown us.
The willingness of the dyno tuner is key, as unless you find the "sweet spot" for the number of disc's the true worth of those is for naught.

Scott, interesting to see that about the Supertrapp, so thanks for making me feel smug about mine (below).

As for Emulators I would pass on them. I have them in my Sporty and can't see any benefit from adding them, so have bought a set of Intiminators for my Glide, which get good reviews over in Touring.
