Blackbeard, I see you're an admin, but is Marc still involved?

Well, we're trying. OK, maybe not. Big Lew.... how big a ol' boy are you?:27:

Not doubting you at all. Just creating levity on the "lighter people" reference. A favorite southern comedian has a popular line... "just how big a ol' boy are you?". As you know, my answer... "big". Yes, I've worked on a few shocks, adjusting compression and rebound, in my career. You know how...

Now I remember, a while back you told me you were selling the white bike. Give me a call, we need to catch up anyways.

Hey... I resemble that statement.

Looks good!

True in most practical applications regarding custom bike mods. Although... you just did.:1:

Which one? Still got the white one and the trike? I'd love to see a friend buy my bike instead of a stranger. And it'd be a good excuse for us to go to Portillo's.

Yep. At some point on others bikes, I've seen a variety of the causes that Marc mentioned as well. I think my rear tire calls for about 36psi, and I had developed a slight wobble. Per Marc's suggestion a few years ago, I increased the rear psi to 42, and it went away. So as you can see where...

No, haven't really pushed it other than the facebook post. I think that's a denial mechanism. :1:

Sure. It would be remiss to not mention those little items first. I know back when all these tree and/or neck kits were new, there wasn't a lot of info available and it was almost taboo getting anyone to really commit to solid torque specs. And of course, the HD manual is also pretty vague on...

Can't recall for certain on the '05/'06 models, but the '07/'08 models had a small black hose that went to each shock and there was a Schrader valve mounted on a bracket on the left side, between the saddlebag and the fender, right around the area of the top of the shock.

The rotor issue could certainly be contributing to it. But it can also be a dozen other issues too; tire pressure (front and/or rear,) fall away could be off, etc.

Wow. That sucks. But at least things are moving in the right direction. The tourpak looks good.

I didn't realize that one had the device tray. I had one when I first did my system about four years or so ago, and I really liked it. The volume controls started acting pretty weird so I replaced it with a spare I bought back before they discontinued them, but it was fucked from the get-go. I...
