I mainly wanted to check how accurate the coat hanger method is when it comes to making sure the front and rear wheels track in the same plane. Short answer: when the coat hanger tool said everything was perfect, the string method said I could use another 1/2 turn of the adjuster on one side

Took the hyper-charger off of my '97 springer and installed an Arlen Ness big sucker. She ran great on a 10 mile shakedown run. I think the big sucker looks better.
Hyper-charger is on the right.

Yzr- way better look. I'd like to see a pic of the whole bike. Haven't seen an old springer in white. I like it.

Default 2023 FXLRS

Bought a new leftover 2023 FXLRS this past April 27 and had replacement Michelin Scorchers installed earlier this week, 8,900 miles on it now. It had 8 miles on it when I rolled it out the showroom door.

Thanks! Here's a couple pics for you. In a couple of weeks I'm having the solid rear wheel replaced with a laced spoke wheel.

Nice bike...!

I don't have an EVO Springer, both mine are Twin Cams....

But there is just something about a Springer that I can't resist....
