Are you sure it's a 3.7" stroke? I thought I read on the MotorcycleMetal website it's 88mm or under 3.5" (ie 3.46" or 3 - 7.5/16").

Howard seems to have an expanding range of options he can play with, to give us more lengths and strokes. There was talk a while ago of an X 1/2 version (I don't recall what the X value was) that was not yet on the website. If you're interested give him a call, but be gentle, he fell and bashed his back recently!

His adjustable shocks have 93mm of stroke.

It will be worth it. It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission. I purchased my #3-#3 from Howard recently, and I'm absolutely in love with how the rear end handles now. It did take me about a a week of trying different settings and riding over varied road conditions and speeds to find out what works for me and what doesn't, but once I had it dialed in I've been riding with a huge grin on my face ever since.

Do you actually believe what you read on the internet? You, as in all parts of life will receive what you give. Act like a jack-off you shall be treated as you give out. I will take some time out and state this is a Harley forum. Any here attend an "Adults" only affair, there is not the same behavior there as from a chat site where anonymity shielded by the computer screen hides accountability here as well as elsewhere. In life it is important to conduct ones self like you are prepared to stand behind what you say and are accountable for ones own actions.
