Vertical is definitely ok in Illinois now, so long as it's unobstructed (slide 6).

Changed in 2013, I think.

I've had mine vertical for years and never had an issue.

 

Ahh good to know. I had it vertical on my stretched and swapped ruckus around 7 years ago and that is when people told me I would get hassled for it.

 

Added an old style 8" round intake cover....

 

Been a long time since ive shown it of

 

Added 21" front rim, (Ride Wright ) 130/60B21 ( Dunlop American Elite ) 21" fender adapter (Drag Specialties)

Took off Spring seat for more sporty look.

 

What a difference those extra five inches makes.
How did the feel on the ride change. And are you noticing a change with fuel level indicators?

 

Stock tire is 25.30 diameter, this tire is 27.31. Thats only 1 inch pitch back. I just missed the stock fender bolt holes by a hair. Not sure if fuel level will be noticeably affected. I have my suspension tightened up some. I weighed myself holding my work duffel and had harley dealer set my suspension at that weight....So my fat a$$ isnt really squishing the rear suspension much, so I say I wont notice fuel level... nor do I let it go lower then a 1/4

My First ride was short around some twisties , floor boards did not scrape and I felt I was a being a little more aggressive than usual. Ride felt firm.

 

So is it due to the new tire being a much lower profile than stock as to why the ride stayed similar?

 

My new slim!!! I swapped out my '14 sporty 72 and descovered I was in love with my Slim at first ride❤️

Contrats on the new scoot. That Sporty seat looks comfortable. Think you are going to miss it? The Slim is a great bike, for sure. Oh, welcome to the forum, too. tomp dd50
