  1. If you are not using something adjustable to raise the bike such as a rear stand the the best thing you can do is make a floor to tire ramp that does not fit tight. A little on the loose side is better to allow for new tread. Do this before you pull the axle. Doc's major issue was that when he pulled the wheel out the swing arm closed up about an eighth of an inch or more and the wheel with spacers would no longer fit. It took a bit of  finesse  get it back in.

    Nice trailer mod. Wow, now the moving company itself said that they could put the bike on the truck with everything else and only charge $50 to deliver it. I would how it would fair in a moving truck with boxes. The corporate relo person initially said no, so it needs confirmation, too.

    How well the bike will do depends on how well it is secured and how well your belongings are secured. As far as the corporate relo homo goes in my mind if there is room on the unit for your bike and you want pay to have them transport it and they are willing to do it said relo man is not part of the equation. That would be a separate contract between you and the mover. No different than if someone else has stuff they want to go to that destination. Pay the 50 bucks and move on.

    Ran these on the Super Hawk. No issues. Stuck well. In fact going to order a front now. My only thing was the torque of my bike would chew the rear up in about 5k miles. Order today and they may be on your steps tomorrow. Only thing is the date of manufacture.

    Seriously considering buying it for myself.

    No doubt Jim. You should at least go have a look and set how it fits. Pauly does not give props to too many bikes but he has always been positive on this model. I'm a perfect example of not needing the latest up to date machinery to have a good time on two wheels.

  5. I can't help with your sag question but I did find this. As he states this is basic but he really makes it easy to understand. Pack the tools you need, pen and pad to write down your starting settings and the changes you make with the results. Thinking spread sheet kinda thing. Map yourself a short loop, suit up and go play. You will not break anything by turning the adjusters. The positive that will come from this is that you will learn which adjuster does what and where you want them set for the type of ride you are going to do. The more you play the more knowledge you will gain.
