    hahaha I actually figured it out today. Turns out if you compress the spring the top actually un threads like a conventional car shock. I cut the springs a bit but it puts the shock too low in the stroke. I'm thinking about running the threads down the rod a bit further and chopping the top to bring the shock up in the stroke a bit. we'll see

    I have ordered one of these... and would appreciate some heads up on it.. here is the link. http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detai ... ame=detail I would like to know has anyone used or wired up the fuel guage sensor.. and if so what did you use to put in your tank. I have a 85 maxim and I want to have the use of this function. I also like to know of any problems with the wiring side as there will no doubt be alot of wires.. thanks again.

    Bikrman,
    Those frame rails would look good with some red LED lights mounted inside them on the ends.
    I put chrome caps in mine (found at any hardware store, made for end caps on metal chairs) and then I drilled holes in them and mounted a red LED in each one. I ran the wire inside the frame tubes to small holes under the seat and use rubber grommets to keep the wires from shorting out on the frame.

    anyone... ooh boy ... looks like I will have to work this one out too..


    unless anyone know of any way to put a sensor in your tank without too much fuss... I would prefer a bottom mount one..

    thanks
