When I get home, I'll post up specific info with torque specs. I don't have them in front of me right now. Whatever you do, DO NOT remove the bottom rockers without bracing the legs. It can kill you when they spring out.

Then you just adjust your fall away like any other bike. Remove anything that interferes, brake lines, electrical, etc. I just remove the bars and hang them up to keep everything connected. My bike likes it on the tight side, but your mileage may vary.

Once you get it where you want it, reinstall the chrome nut. Don't over tighten it! I did once. I'm on my second...
Thank you Chris, that was big help. Chafes my sack to pay $47 for something like this but I guess I'll have to!

Thanks Lou. I've been looking to get a springer for a long time. Got this one for less than $6k

Well it's about freaking time someone banned that drunken *******. Unfortunately, I'm sure it won't be permanent.

Nice bike, Tracy. I was seriously looking at one of those when I came across mine. The stance of them is perfect.

Thanks. I had to go to SC to get it and rode it back with no tags as it hadn't been tagged since '14 LOL

Had Sweet T to stay behind me, well when she could. I had to blow the suet out of it a few times of course. The engine runs pretty strong and while it cut out a few times and doesn't want to idle well it runs strong
