Do you cut PVC spacers to length to set your sag ?
Also, just wondering if you also have Ricor Intiminators ?

thanks,

The PVC pre load spacers are cut depending on model, all specs are in the instructions.
Fork oil amount is in your Owner's Manual. Mine came with 2 a 5" pieces of PVC and required full length.
No to the Ricor Intiminators.

Removed the back seat and sissy bar and put on a Mustang studded Fender bib. Not the best picture with all the background clutter but I had just gotten back from a ride and didn't feel like rolling it out of the garage again. I've always loved the way a Heritage or any bagger looks with a solo seat.

Filled the back tire with air and screamed down the highway to the shop so I could get it replaced. Only 1,000 Miles on the back tire and picked up a self tapping screw in the tread (construction at the job, I'm the 10th or 12th person who's lost a tire so far)

If punctures are that prevalent, you might want to check into Ride-On.

that’s a great ride indeed, unfortunately the only thing I’ve done with my fatboy since then is report it stolen

Holy ****.....that sucks. Albacrazy for sure.

My family is all in burque, I'm just outside of Washington, DC. I head home about twice a year and there is always a handful of stories from the family just like yours.

Sorry bro. I hope they find it.
