2010 SB cheap mods w/pics

The wife and I are about the same weight! I turned mine up two notches. We have done many rides at that setting and she has never complained about the feel, course I don't ride as aggressive with her on the back ( I ride slower, so I see the bumps and holes soon enough to avoid them). Things are different when I ride and it now shows, i hit a hole at around 80 and I felt it.the bleed nipple on the rear caliper hit my fender and dinged, nothing bad though. I email burly to get some info on the premise settings, if I get anything back I will post it.
Over all I love the shocks look and fill. I wouldn't trade them for anything,except maybe a Street Glide, lol!!

I think iam going to order the drop in front fork springs to drop the front. She gets mad at me when I take the passenger seat off (I dont like the way it looks with the passenger seat on). I tell her hey just think about it..with no passenger seat on there that is one less way of me picking up another girl..

Update,
Well there goes putting off the install of the Cross Bones rim. I mocked up the rim only tonight to get the spacers milled down to the correct thickness and get the rim centered in the swingarm/fender. I knew that I was only going to mill down the spacer on the belt side since you do not want to remove anything from the brake caliper side. The reason you do not want to remove anything from the brake caliper side spacer is the rotor will be pulled closer to the brake caliper bracket and will not be centered in it.
This is the stock rim with the stock spacers...
Here I measured out .400 to mill off the spacer for the belt sprocket side.
Spacer installed..
The rim is now centered in the fender..
Only issue is with the rim being centered in the fender the sprocket is now to close to the swing arm and the belt is against the inner primary cover..
I will most likely mill down the sprocket now on the inside edge where it sits flat against the rim's hub. Iam not doing this until I have a tire mounted and know how much I can mill off the sprocket with out the sprocket getting to close to the tire.
Iam going to grab a tire and tube tomm and install them and if I have time i'll mount the rim/tire up in the bike to see how much I can remove from the sprocket...

You could always add those plate bolts that have LEDs in them to light it up, and tie into the running light circuit. That's probably what I would do, because you can pick those up for only a buck or two for a pair.
