Default Installed Burly preload adjusters
After helping my neighbor find the perfect bike for him (researching for a month) and then taking a day off work to help him go get it, he showed his appreciation by buying me preload adjusters from Burly.

Just put them in today and didn't get the chance to go ride. Hopefully in the next day or so. Going to need 1" riser spacers too. Here's a picture at least.

I was pretty shocked. At first I thought he was BS'n until they came in the mail today.

So hopefully with doing the Progressive drop in kit, cutting the spacer to lower it an inch, and preload adjusters it will ride better up front.

Supposed to get some bad weather in the next few days so possibly this weekend I'll be able to get them dialed in. Also trying to finish up my rear fender and saddlebags so I can stop wearing a back pack

Progressive drop in lowering kit. Cut spacers to lower 1". Was a little sloppy, talked to progressive and the mentioned trying adjusters...worked out great!!!
