RAIL i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY SUCTION CUP. wHEN NOT RIDING MY RIGHT SUCTION CUP BARELY COMES OFF THEN WHEN I RIDE IT MAKES CONTACT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WHEN I AM NOT RIDING FOR AWHILE I TAKE MY SEAT OFF. DURING THE WINTER I WILL TAKE IT OFF EVEN IN THE GARAGE AND PLACE IT AWAY IN THE HOUSE.
AS FAR AS THE SECOND SEAT YOU CAN ADJUST IT. MINE IS SO TIGHT TO THE STRUTS I WOULD NOT TRUST ANYBODY ELSE TO PUT IT ON IN FEAR OF SCRATCHING MY STRUTS.
I ALSO NAIL MY PIPE WHEN MY SUSPENSION IS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

I noticed 1 or 2 of you are riding it slammed giving maybe an inch of suspension room in the rear between the fender and tire. Did you just stiffen up your preload real hard or is it designed to where the rear tire won't rub the rear fender even bottomed out?

thanks!

Some of us have air suspension. That is why it is all the way slammed. You can ride on the bump stops but not something I do often. My belt rubs on the inner part of my primary.
