RE: 05 nighttrain
ORIGINAL: back again
just got the picture thing figured out i think. 2" in the rear with Progressive 413 shocks about 1/4 of the adjuster left. I used the Progressive springs in the tubes set on the 1" setting. Ride is firm but not too stiff. I do alot of 2 up riding and have had no issues since centering the fender. Why H-D offsets the rear fender is beyond me. Other changes I've made are the Carlini bars,R-B Racing
C-style 2-1 exhaust,stage1 air and a SERT. Metzler 90/90 on the front.The seat is a Corbin Gunfighter and a lot of various chrome nuts and bolts in the right places to set things off. 14,000 miles in 14months without a hitch. Can't ride the thing enough.

RE: 05 nighttrain
fills up the fender and ride is solid. much more positive feel in the turns. Doesn't have that tendency to slip in the turns if you know what I mean. That squirrley feel on grooved roads has gone away also. The stock 21 only lasted 6000 miles or so and I already have that on the Metz with no signs of wear. Works well on my bike.

The front Metz is Marathon Me 880 or Lasertec ?
