I put lowering springs in my last Elky. They RAISED the car as the old ones
were so saggy that the new shorter springs had the opposite effect.

If the lock mechanism is stuck like my buddies was, the slim jim won't help.
His button was up but the mechanism itself locked up on the door lock pin.

As far as the slim jim thing goes...as some of you may know, I
am a cop. I was unlocking a lady's car door for her one afternoon. She started
the car to warm it up, and accidently locked the keys in it as it was running.
After I unlocked her door with the slimjim she was thrilled of course.
Thanks Rick and everyone else who provided their input! (Now
where did I put the 10% discount code for Summit?!) Time to part with MORE

Im curious. You said you got locked twice and are now carrying a slim jim in your Elky. I have done the same thing and put one under the seat but then I realized I could not get to the slim jim if I was locked out so I put it back in the garage. How do you get to yours??

IMO this
whole bellhousing issue really depends on how you drive the car. If it is
street-driven only, then you are probably not beating on it so hard that things
will fall apart. However, if you do beat on it (whether street or track), then
you need to protect yourself.
