Re:The Flip 1 Year ago  
I am new here and just picked up an 07' Saturday and did "The Flip" yesterday. Took about 45 minutes and dropped it right at 3". It is going to be a solo bike so I hope the spring upgrade will be unnecessary but no big deal if I do have to do it. Road it today and had no problems.

Re:The Flip 1 Year ago  
Did mine and put Genos' brackets on at the same time looks great.Also new Metzler whites front and back. Corners like its on a rail. I had to put a few washers between the Genos' brackets and my hard bags. The bags were bagging on the upper belt guard. One thing I'm not sure about...I took just enough off the dog bone to get clearance with maybe an 8th inch gap. Is this going to be enough?
So far i've only felt it bottom once, and that was a pot hole I couldn't miss.
