motocat12 Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Wasted a bit of time fussing to get fender liner holes to line up after replacing a flickering driving light. Discovered the frame mount bends with less force than the push clip takes to compress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 After a 5 month ordeal, I installed my permanent plate. An insignificant think but my most satisfying install yet because it marked the end of dealing with the worst company I've ever done business with.

Got them on Thursday along with new KYB's and mounting hardware and went to town... LOVE the finished look. Tough to see in pics because it's such a fat pig, but the in-person look is great. I squatted down for the pics but at normal viewing angle the wheels/tires tuck in perfectly with 1-2 finger gap. No rubbing. I'm reminded how good aftermarket springs are. These German-made H&Rs were shorter (obvi) than factory springs, but the steel coils are way beefier. Even with sway bar end links disconnected (trashed them in removal...got new ones coming tomorrow) it took bumps really well and just feels flat and solid. The drop was over 1" each end and still hasn't settled. Needs an alignment. Very happy with the crotchfruit transport now...82k miles so plenty of life left, paid off, and will be having fun for years to come. At least now it won't look like every other Odyssey in a UA school parking lot. If you have a minivan, seriously...get lowering springs. Very cheap way to make it look better and handle well for DD duty. This fella LS swapped a '95 Odyssey and I immediately thought of you: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Couldn’t resist. My thoughts are with all the rain we had recently the salt was pretty much gone from the roads. Fun times. I also love the new door lights I installed.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Sold my suburban a few days ago, had a run in with a deer on Christmas Eve and decided it wasn't worth my time to fix it with all the other issues it had going on. Went out and got myself a replacement pimpin ride. 2020 Yukon XL Denali. Rolling in style this year 😜 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot I’m frustrated I can’t go faster with the wing on the street. I used to wonder if I’d be better off with a slower bike. I now know I prefer a bike that is above what I’m willing to push it to. Dragging pegs was scary on the Concours. When the Wing touches down and unweights the rearend that is beyond scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a passenger, it helps keep the rear end down. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Wing touches down and unweights the rearend that is beyond scary. You need the new Wing. Way faster, far more lean and suspension to back it up. Pegs hit and fold, you got another couple of inches before it hits a hard stop. That said, welcome to the world of bikes that you can't drag an elbow on. They all hit that hard limit eventually and start to lift the rear tire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
