Is there a general rule of thumb how much compression movement should be in your forks?
When I put on the front brakes the front end compresses about 2 inches..

Alhall,
How do you like that springer? Tell me about it because I'm thinking of getting one myself....

Its great, these springers have come a long way. Real shocks in the springs, all roller bearings in the pivot points, they claim 100,000 mile life on the bearings. Plus maint. will be easy since the fluid change will now be a 10 minute job. The only thing I wish is that my frame had about 6 more deg. of rake in the neck then I would have been able to run offset trees. As it stands I lost a little of my turning radius but I only notice it when parking.

Blitz all my old posts got deleted when I was banned. But if you want I can re post the process on this site because I still have all the pics. But remember its a left side drive.

Yeah I'd like to see an install on one of those fancy right side drives. And its funny you should ask why I got banned. Well it happened right after you got banned after bama said to stop but of course I decided to start a poll to see who wanted you back in and bama deleted it and sent me a nice note. So I sent him a much nicer note and bam I was banned. All is ok now but all my old posts were gone.This is a much better site anyway.

No sweat blitz I could not and still do not understand the banning of any member that speaks his mind about someone who was clearly in the wrong and alreadyy caused many issues already. Thats why I'll only post these installs from now on on this site. Because you never know I may have to speak my mind again and there go my posts, no thanks. I thought communism was dead.
