Just got off the phone w/ Howard on the 3/3 install. Very patient, very informative and most importantly, didn't let a couple of my assumptions get in the way... this guy is 100% behind the sale with his support and guidance.

I actually need to take the time to thank Fab also, for all the assistance with getting the front end mod's done.

Without the info available on this forum I'd probably have rattled and clunked off into the sunset without realizing how much better the ride could be. First impressions are a improvement all 'round, particularly one local curve with a washboard surface - bike feels planted; not like it's being whisked off as in the old days.

Thanks again guys - great products and follow up!

the #3-#3's only get better with miles , Howard is a great guy , I run his shocks and HID head lights and couldn't be happier with both , my neighbor told me I was crazy spending the money Howard charges for his lights , but after talking to Howard I bought them any way , my neighbor has been through 3 sets of cheap HID's and mine still work great , guess who's laughing now

I'll post again after getting a few hundred miles on, but right now the difference is substantial.

It's hard to explain, but I have more confidence in knowing how the bike is responding to input, both from the road and myself. Feedback through the chassis is firm without being harsh, and the worst bumps just get absorbed as opposed to the jarring I used to get.

Outstanding upgrade, and I'm sure it'll get better as I continue to break it in and fine tune it.
