Aye, it's a few quid for you boys over the pond, more reasonable going direct when they've only got to lob them over the English Chanel, and you don't have to worry about getting the version with marker lights

Default Preload

Bought a used FBob 114, but did not get the owners manual yet.

Please let me know the suggestion for preload.

I run 190 pounds plus gear.

Appreciate the help.

Thank you!

.5, maybe a bit more if you want, but I'm about the same weight and .5 puts me about right on the loaded sag.

That looks great! I just received my Spartan fairing. I'm not a pro painter and I've never done a wrap. How hard was it to get the wrap on cleanly? Debating wrap vs Colorrite spray can kit.
