It will be with me too, actually when the front goes on I'll be putting her back up to re-check the rear suspension and adjust the pre-load. Ill get some better pics next time shes sky high.
Here's a cool little fact, I think this is where the term limbo referring to ducking under a pole came from. We all know that limbo is supposed to be where you die but haven't transitioned, well the definition is actually - Limbo (Latin limbus, edge or boundary, referring to the "edge" of Hell) So apparently the lower you can go, the closer to hell you are. Pretty bad ***! Chaz man, limbo that train to the max and tell prince of darkness I said I'll see him in a bit.

Twist....The image of your Scoot up on that lift will live in my mind for quite some time.
Cant wait to see the front end join the *** in getting under that Limbo Pole!!
Funny you say as had I not bought a Train the standard was on my short list. Just a straight foward Harley canvas ready to be tweaked and fiddled with.
Thanks for the comps Mang!!

I'm gonna cut 3/4 off my 1.5" remaining PVC spacers this weekend. Gonna try for that little half inch and see if it works with my derned clutch cable....I'm addicted and cant stand how Gordon out Limboed me so easily!!

oh yea . . . do you not hit your tag?? I looked at mine and it seems real close if I sit on it and bounce. I turned my wing nuts on the back side some to get their arm outa the way , about to get some lower profile nuts and see if it helps. I'm not really sure I wanna re locate my plate. Also, should we be paying any attention to the belt? Does it tighten up or get put into a bad bind? I still need to adjust my pre load, how tight is yours? I have mine set on the "lightest" setting, but need a bit more stiffness, especially when 2-up. Thanks in advance

You say that you just dropped in the spacers as is 4.50"?
How much did it drop the front end?
The instruction sheet says that a longer spacer will raise the front end while a shorter spacer will lower the front end.
I want to drop the front end a full 2".
Do I need to cut the 4.5" spacer or just drop it in the way it is?
Thanks much for the help.
