just picked up a set of used VIEDS for my 07 roadglide, noticed that the adjustment dial is kinda vague with the settings and that the wheel moves real easy, does not click in at any of the settings.If you have or have had themI was wondering if this is the way they are supposed to be or maybe I didnt get as good a deal as I thought I did.
installed them and put them to were I thought was the minimal setting and noticed better throttle response through the gears, so hoping they are all good.
Thanks

Had mine on a 07 Ultra.......yes that little dial moves quite easily but thats ok.......If i remember correctly I had mine set about 75%......was a cooler engine and better response......loved them!!

Experiment with settings.......you'll find a sweet spot......

When I was using them, I would set the dial at 75% and wrap it with electrical tape.
