Semi retired at 50

 

Bike looks great! How is the ride with the 21" and progressive springs?

 

I'm totally satisfied (and trust me I'm as picky as they come). I swear the ride is better then stock. Bike feels lighter in the front and most definitely handles and corners to my liking. I lowered the front 1 1/2 inch and used SE heavy oil. The rear is stock.

I went with the 17" rear because of a few reasons, one being I went with the 200 tire. A bud has the 18/200 and he complains of highway handling and harsh ride and even more so with a passenger. My bike even @ 100 MPH is perfect with or without the wife, not that it would make a difference because she weights 110 LBS soaking wet, even after the implants .

So if anybody is complaining about their 21" wheel, maybe its the springs, type of oil used and/or type of wheel they installed. My set-up is perfect!

 

Thanks for the response. I am really torn on what wheel size to go with.

 

You doing front and rear or just front?

 

Front and rear. I'm really picky too!

 

Very nice job Doc. MAkes me want to start another project myself. Nice ride.
