Congrats. It'll take you a minute to get the feel for the settings of the shock.

Me and the OL done 100 miles yesterday and the sled rolled sweet 2up.

Could obviously be the angle of the first pic, but looks like you may need to adjust that left side pipe. Just stood mine up level on the jack Saturday and compared the measurements of the two pipes and had to loosen the one side up and realign it. Check it out when you get a chance.

Sweet bike! Looks killer. What kind of apes are those and what rise? That's the style I'm looking for for my bike.
