Default 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.
Nice ride back again, how different you find the Metz 90/90 to the stock tire? Is it larger?

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 ?
