I appreciate it G Dub .... it was a nice weekend to ride, unfortunately my other half was on call this weekend so no riding for us. We have run up to Desoto through Mentone a time or two, but my heart lies with the roads to Suches in North GA
Sorry you couldn't get out...rode solo myself.
I'm with ya on Suches. Didn't wanna head that way right now, what with 24k acres ablaze. But will get that way before spring. Looks like the backburn is working, so they should start to contain and then we can get back to Suches, Blairsville, etc.
Always passing through your area. For quick rides like Henderson Mtn and around there.
We've been doing front suspension testing for a while now. Installing different configurations in a variety of HD models, and testing them. See related thread HERE.
Yesterday we worked on our bagger.
We've already done several configurations, and tomorrow and next week we have 4 more we will be installing & testing.
These pics are from yesterday.
Fender, calipers and wheel pulled-
One fork pulled-
Other fork pulled-
Both forks gutted-
One rebuilt fork back on-
Other rebuilt fork back on-
After adjusting sag, we went for some test rides, got the bike back in the shop as the sun was going down.
The fender was left off because we are going to be pulling everything apart, at least 6 more times, in the next few days.
We've been testing front and rear suspensions options over the last 8 months. We are well over 60 different combinations over all 5 HD Model families.
The test riding is fun, sometimes the assembly, and adjusting for sag, not so much. But the end is in sight!

Kevin, that's a bit sneaky - you neglected to show us what you put back inside those forks!
I have the titanium gauges. And I do not have any trouble seeing them at night.
My issue may be I need glasses to read/computer work but not for driving (so far).
So I don't were my prescription glasses on the bike or driving.
Maybe I will have to try that, it could also be the color..... some people have issues with certain colors.
Guess I will have to try riding with my prescription glasses (at night) and see how they work.
The older I (we) get the worse it gets at least my eyes have stabilized.

I have looked at my gauges so much, I don't need to see the numbers or hash marks... just the needles. With that, the only 2 I concentrate on are the speedo and gas gauge.😆

We've now put 10 different configurations of cartridges, springs, spacers, emulators, intiminators, etc. in those forks...but, right after that pic, we put in a monotube set-up.
