True Track reccommends a larger kit if you change shocks. They also reccommend using OEM shocks instead of aftermarket replacements as the rubber compounds mar be different causing more vibration with the aftermarket.

You're probably right. Part of his therapy was horseback riding.

Interesting stuff. I had no idea. The Dynas seem to be a bit more complicated than the Softails.

So...I will order the kit and braided brake lines along with replacement pads and buy OEM mounts and bring them back with me when In return from the states. Mount everything on the bike and plan a road trip to the UK tio have the rear shocks and front end done.

I don't know if that is true, but I may be going a little overboard. I just want to make the bike as solid as I can. I seem to feel every bump in the road now....the other reason is if I don't find a good way to spend the $$$$ the wife will.

I have a gelding pony about 13.5 hands tall that is just an awesome little horse. Great personality and I swear he wants to be ridden, but hates a bit (can't say as I blame him for that). If I wasn't so heavy I'd ride him myself. Bought him for my youngest son. He's been on him twice..
Unfortunately, I did't take ant pics, but next time....I will be going again soon if this weather holds. A bit shouldn't be too uncomfortable if it is a snaffle bit, but you are right some horses just don't like the idea. It is a shame..maybe if you work with him a little it will help. The only thing I know for sure is if left alone they can become cantankerous. and difficult to handle.
