Thank you again for your help. I am going with the progressive 412s and found the best price on amazon which is weird to me but I found them under $200. I assume changing them will be pretty easy for a weekend mechanic like myself, but if anyone knows of any surprises I appreciate it. My wife and

My, my, the passion is growing on this subject.  As for cellphone use, like HRM said:  let the phone take a message; or, pull off the road.  As for banning it , that will be difficult.  Just make their insurance rates go up drastically anddouble or triple the indemnity, sort of like punitive da

Hey everyone - Quick question (as I don't have the Clymer manual in front of me...) Is the 83 550 replacement shock eye to eye, or eye to clevis? (I'm searching for parts and I've seen both that are supposedly replacements for my bike) (This maintenance thing isn't nearly as fun as the ridi

OMG... I am SO sorry to hear about this. Cell phone use while driving is banned in Washington DC proper -- as in, a driver that wants to use a phone must use a hands free device. I see more DC cops driving with cell phones glued to their ears than anybody else! On Sep 15, 12:13 pm, "Creative Resi

btw Adjusting preload will do nothing for your ride. It only sets the sag on the suspension per the weight your loading and has no effect on damping, compression, or rebound. If you're too heavy, you're just too heavy. They always build these bikes for a 160 pound dude like Pee Wee Gleason wh

Your Butt pain issue is not so much your shocks as it is your seat. None of these factory seats are conducive to longer rides for the average ass. A week after I bought my SV650 I replaced the soft OEM seat with a custom Sargent Seat. I couldn't ride more than 20 minutes with the OEM, now it hours

Considering what governments have done in the past, i dont trust to do what is right for us they can provide guidance but its up to the individual to make the correct choices. Total government control is a dictatorship no countries mentioned here but ussally they do not fair out very well becuase
