I have heard somewhere that the front forks of a Springer need to be tuned after initial breakin period. Can someone please explain about the tuning of the front fork and why? thanks

 

You can tuna piano, you can tuna radio but you can tuna fish...........OK it's early.

I first need to admit ignorance if there is a better answer. All I know is that the rate on a springer is controlled by the torque or turns on the compression nuts for the springs. THe shock on the Harley springer front end serves as a dampener, and help remove oscillations from a bump. Depending on riding style, the springs seem to take a set, and you may need to retorque or check the nuts to give the "ride" you are looking for. Adjustable rate is based on spring compression or squeeze.

Thanks Bruce, I think that I understand what you are talking about. I was trying to figure it out in my own head, but I didn't have enough info to work with. THANKS

 

Damn investorsc, that sounded really professional (I like to tuna fish), and to think that it was an early morning reply.
