Beer is good. Helps with the decision making. LOL

 

Absolutely...... As long as we can live with our decision the next day....

 

I haven't regretted any so far. We'll except for the "drunk shopping" on the internet from time to time.

 

Or you come up with insane ideas like putting a long spacer under the collar to open the top spring, so there is more play. No I didn't do it yet !!!

 

 

They said someone would get back to me. That's sorta kinda like the check is in the mail.

 

They make a tool to compress the springs...pretty east to make your own out of a piece of all-thread...surprised your didn't put your eye out taking it apart without one...it goes in place of the shock.

These guys aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer...but they have the best vid on youtube at the moment.

 

When you hit a bump...the bottom springs compress, and the top springs expand...and they should be close to bottomed out with no weight on them.

I think you need to ride the bike and hit a few pot holes to "settle" the springs and get the rockers more level...or you use a ratchet strap...if you tie it down like you would on a trailer...you can pull it all the way down fully compressed.

I bought the 5/16 threaded rod thing, had it all taken apart, but when it went back together as before tight top springs. no slack in top at all.
