Soo...hey guys. Anyone whose done their front suspension i have a question. When i put my fork tubes back in the trees I was under the impression that the cinch bolts are only tongued to about 20 lbs. Is this right????? Doesn't seem like much to me.

Reason I ask is after a short rride the other day it appeared to have moved. The amount of fork tube exposed above the top tree appears to me slightly more than when I installed them after installing the cartridges. Any help would be great thanks guys.

Still waiting on my 2-year warranty to expire on the FLHTP but this is what I've got planned when that happens:
  • Vance & Hines - VO2 Naked 71035
  • D&D Touring M8 Billet Cat
  • Wood Performance WM8-22XE
  • Dynojet - Power Vision w/ Target Tune
  • S&S Oil Pump and Cam Plate Kit
Any thoughts or recommendations?

  • Vance & Hines - VO2 Naked 71035 - all intakes are pretty much the same
  • D&D Touring M8 Billet Cat - good pipe
  • Wood Performance WM8-22XE- nice cam
  • Dynojet - Power Vision w/ Target Tune - good baseline tuner, been using same tuner for last few bikes
  • S&S Oil Pump and Cam Plate Kit - check out fueling cam chest and pump gears

All intakes are not the same. Dyno will prove this, there can be more than 5 hp and torque difference between some of them.

No need to spend the big money on S&S or Fueling oil pumps. The new 8 lobe HD 2020 oil pump set up works great even in big inch, big power builds. Lots of builders have been using it for 6 months or more now over the S&S.

I have 12,000 miles on my M8 build, no issues even in 95 degree weather with the 8 lobe HD pump. Check signature for build spec.
