#62748 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Dragging iron 4 Years, 3 Months ago   My bike was set at the Softest setting on the shock from the factory. Followed the adjustment in the O/M , adjusted it to the maximum adjustment (I weight more than you and your better half combined ), and that solved my occasional bottoming issues. Try adjusting first.

However, the passenger doesn't like it a bit so I have to get it fixed. Friday I'll crank that shock up and see how we do. I used to build choppers so even if she gets a bit stiff it won't be quite like a hardtail ride. It looks great lowered, I'd hate to go back. Then again I also don't want to make the wonderful lady that says I can do anything I want to my motorcyle think twice about that statement!   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #62868 Colonel (User) If it aint broke .. dont fix it!

I often drag the iron when solo and couldnt give a hell, but when I do it with the missus on the back I get the kness in the back side and a slap on the helmut... lol Ive got the 1000lb progressive spring on order, and then I will crank it up. With or combined weight lowering it is definately out of the question.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #62928 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Dragging iron 4 Years, 3 Months ago   Let me say this........You ain't dragged nothing till you pull the floorboards off and Really get to leaning her over. Then you start touching down on parts Yamaha never intended to make contact with the road.

I cranked it up to the max and will see this weekend if it makes a difference. looks like it will. I had the original spring set at max due to never knowing when the wife would be along. I also discovered that my tires are low on pressure too. A bit baffling as I am real particular about that so that contributed to. I'll let everyone know how it goes. I like the idea of the lowering and the look and the progressive spring but sparks flying ain't a good thing!   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #63122 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:Dragging iron 4 Years, 3 Months ago   Sad that they didnt even tell you they had dropped it all the way, they should have so you could take it up if it wasnt enuf! Stealership for ya....sorry hopps Hey BB, are you saying ..keep leaning till' the turn signals start throwing sparks?   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access.
