Pretty much the spring controls ride height. On the bottom of the shock you can see what looks like a set screw. Directions will tell you which way does what. Normally Hagon sets them per your order prior to shipment. My advice is to install the shock so the set screw adjustment is facing the right side of bike. That way when resting on side stand you have more room to get in there and click the shock.

If it is front one of 2 it should have the nutplate. Rear one remove cover and check to see if the bracket/nutplate are still usable. If not maybe a helicoil to repair it.

This is what I am using.

I think the big difference in sound is the speakers that mount in the helmets. I also have installed push to talk buttons on both the wife and my cords. They plug right in where the headset does then headset plugs into this cord. They are like $30-40 each. It helps with the woosh from wind when not talking. I still couldnt hear as well as I would like and turning up the volume just made more background noise. So I made a plug so I can use ear buds. This works great for me any ways. if you have to buy all new equipment anyways, you might want to look into the SENA SMH 10. They are bluetooth and you can connect like 6 of them together. SO you can have you and your passenger, pus each can listen to whatever music source independant of eachother if you like different music.

10-4 on the crank up phone volume. What I finally did at one point was use a boosteroo in line mini amp. Final fix was an in line amp wired up under the fairing. Now I only run about 1/2 volume..

Glad to hear all is good.

Ya know, if it wasnt to anoying one of those lighted toggle switches wouldnt be bad.

Yup would have to agree the push on off button is a pain to figure if on or off as there is no indicator light. Shoot most times I cant even find the dang button.

When I get back home I can send you some pics of inexspensive switch mount to build.

Forget listed weight of my 900 kawi vulcan. It was a good bike. Early ones were known to have stator probs, but are probably all fixed by now. Lol HD 883 might fit in there also.

OEM suggested wiring is thru low beam. I also like to run mine when I want. So it is energized by the aux plug via a relay.

I have a cramp buster on my RSV. Nice to rest your hand. Long ago we would also use an o ring between the throttle and the housing. Something for a little friction.

When I worked in restaurants we would try to get the new waitress to climb up and get the "bag stretcher" Also while in the AF send a guy to bench stock (parts room) for some flight line.

I have used Turtle Wax chrome polish. Also there is a product called never dull. It is a treated cotton like substance in a can. Takes some doing, but you can bring a dull piece of aluminum to a brite shine if you work at it.

Taller gearing would be kind of like "lugging" the engine. If you look at some of the threads guys are talking about fuel economy, they find they actually get better economy with a few more revs. Its just the way the motor/cams/timing is all set up. It dont like to be run at say 45 mph in 5th even though you think lower RPM would save fuel. Just is not the way the motor is set up. Intake, carb flow, valve train air flow etc is all designed for a specific air flow ratio. So fellows have figured out that 4th @ say 60 actually does get better fuel economy than 5th at same speed. I dont know all the design specs etc, but may have to do with better fuel/air mixture in intake etc with increased air flow. Make sense?

Thanks Mike, but I think I can use my military discount for same amount. Would take care of tax. LOL AS of now I'm thinking the low quote has everthing 3 of the 4 have parts and pieces wise. So looking to see if any local reviews on the company around here before pulling the trigger. UNCLEDJ: I'm with ya on that brother. like cars you buy them with all them fancy heated and AC seats, electric whozits, that crap is gonna die sometime. And its usually tied in somehow so you cant just press on without it or by-pass it.

Man those remind me of some aircraft Taxi lights I had installed many moons ago. They were on a GS1100 Suzuki and if you turned them both on at same time I think it slowed the bike. LOL Those are looking sporty. Almost same idea I had.

Meet one of the co-owners a few years back in Las Vegas. He was there surveying and talking with folks there to open a "branch" of their sallon there. Dont know if they ever got it done. Gilley's had a huge fire a few years after their hay day, they did not suffer to badly. Hate to see it as I have been told lots of net stuff was in there and probably not replaceable. But financially if he wasn't insured, shame on him. They just had their "cash cow" days and have lots of time to rebuild. Shoot the guberment even has "free money" to help small business like his to update.

Yea the day the AC quit completely that evap was one big block of ice except about 2-3" at top. Cleaned it with some chlorine water mix, shop vac and compressed air. But the "can" the evap/air handler sits in is rusted pretty good. I mean heck its 26 yr old. So this past week or so I have got 4 quotes for new air handler, and heat pump (outside unit) they are all for the comfortaire except the highest quote which was for a Rheem. Low was $3575 and high was 4850. No the high one is a contractor thru Home Depot and you can get 2yr interest free loan to put it in, but you also have to put some kind of 1200 buck air purifier thingy in. So actual AC is 4600 or what ever it figures out to. But have not read some good things on Rheem. The comfort aker seems like a good unit. But why would Carrier make a "chevy" unit if they already make the "caddy" ?

So have you went in for the interview for that yet? A fellow I worked with told me how to probably get released. When they ask if you could give a fair trial tell them "bring the guility SOB in and we will give him a fair trial". Checked our dates up that way looks like Oct 10 we leave here, 2 days up. We will go back thru Savannah 16th and head home the 18th.

Seems weird, where were you riding? Was it all roads or maybe newer paved? It wasn't shortly after it started raining by chance. Also just for a per-chance, check to see it is mounted in the correct rotation direction.

Try running a ground jumper from battery direct to tailight housing and see what you get. Have you OHm ground back to battery or frame ?

Usually thats about the time we go up Mike. I forget exact dates right now. We have a friend that has a time share over in Saphire we are staying with this year about that time. Normally has cooled down some, and if lucky leaves are changing. If your going to be in Helen you have to get one of them excelent pretzels from the old bavarin restruant.

Funny this is my weekend project. I have been wathing the clutch fluid, as it is getting dark. The brakes still look good. But Autozone had quart of DOT 4 for same price for qt as pint, so no high finance there. Had a fresh set of rear pads to put in the rear so cleaned all that up, and flushed everything. New Shinko 777 ready to go on and finnished the mounting before supper. Got it set in place but got a couple things want to do before call good. I mount my own at the house. A 2x4 chunk of wood and tire spoons. Pretty much free except the heat and aggervation. LOL
