Hi ladies and gents!

[Eclectic]

Excellent, the front of the bike troubles me sometimes, a lack of feeling there sometimes has my guts do funny things.

Any recommendations on a kit?

theres loads to choose from. a mate bought the hagon though and was a bit disappointed with the finish.

I would asked that same question anyhow ....so....looks like there are a few worth while tweaks i can make on the thumper ..... more money best not let the missus know then
Already spent a fortune tuning a car... she wont be impressed but what you dont know wont hurt ya

Be good to get out for some blasts out over the summer anyhow. Anyone going to this Harley show in Manchester this wk end?

God dam..... Bought a spacer and decided to fit it today...already had one fitted...doh! Never thought to look oh well ha ha...im thinking... well...hoping fork springs are uprated too but no way to check apart from take the springs out and have a look...just wondering aswell .. Whats the best setting to have the front springs on??? I know my weight a factor for setting up (13st 7) and is there anywhere i can get a spring adjusting spanner for the rear shock as i didint get a tool kit with the bike?!

Hard to tell what front springs are fitted, as most of them look the same....

Spacer?
Add another one anyway, see what it feels like.

(you might need a damper, though.....)

Or leave as it is and drop the forks through the yokes a little at a time to get much the same result.

Hi mate and welcome. Hyperpro springs are good for the money. Completely transformed my bike. Uprated springs will have very tight (close together) coils and will have probably ditched the top 100mm bush. Standard springs are progressive but are crap and the coils are very loose and wide. Also the top 100mm bush will still be in with standard springs.

As for setting up your suspension... nobody elses settings will be any good for you as it's down to personal feel but it is dead easy to set it up for your weight. Have a read through this: http://www.gostar-racing.com/informatio ... set-up.htm. Did mine the other day. Took about 15 minutes and it's bob on now Just make sure you take notes on everything you touch before and after, change one thing at a time then test ride it before going on to the next.
