so thats 40 MPG more + Howards front forks = another 40 MPG more = thats 80 MPG more + Syn 3 = 20 MPG more = lets see.....um...100 MPG more!!!!!!
Holy crap! I had to wait 5 years to find out from you guys these secrets!
UNACCEPTABLE.

Surprisingly entertaining thread, lol.
I just, like 20 min ago, received my #6s. I guessing that's good for 60 MPG. Plan to do the front forks this winter for another 40 MPG. I'll have to switch back to Syn3 for a total of 120 MPG on top of my current 41 MPG == 161 MPG! In your face hybrids!

I mean that's common sense.

Wrong for these shocks. I spoke with OhlinsUSA and the high level tech told me just the opposite with their Harley Ohlins. NEVER adjust the preload without making sure the threads are spotless. Recommended using an air compressor to clean the threads first so they don't get stripped.
I mean that's common sense.

I've had my #3-3 Ohlins from Howard since long before Ohlins USA started selling 'Harley' shocks, for almost five years now. I've ridden through snow and ice and road salt and never had any problems with them of any sort. Air compressor FFS? Nonsense - I don't have one and we don't need one.
what the heck do the Dudes from OhlinsUSA know anyway. Certainly not more than you.
Call Howard!!

Clarification
Of course if you are not changing the spring pre-load as in the case of Mr. Brown, the threads do not need to be cleaned until he does wish to move the spring pre-load collars. This is what happens when you do move the collars before cleaning the threaded body, only common sense. I am sure Mr. Brown did not mean not to clean his shocks before moving the spring pre-load color. I believe he meant that the shocks work just fine getting dirty, two different things, but I am sure Mr. Brown can clarify his statement. THe problems with chat sites there are many ways to interpenetrate thoughts, meaning of the thought, and sentences. I had to use a milling machine to remove this collar not to damage the threads.
