Put my works ars/drs shocks on the other day, got the bike back toghether tonight. Went to put the bags on and the adjuster levers hit the bags. I put the bags on by rotating the adjuster so it points forward, but isn't that going to throw the rate of my shocks off?

 

If you have a setup like this,alignment is the key.

What is important is how the tab lines up with the "cutouts" in the head.

That can bein any position - 360 degrees around. So the tab can point North, South, East or West.

You can rotate the tab, the head or both.

How do like the ride??? These are THE BOMB MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yep, that's what I have. Haven't put more than 2 miles on them so far. Plan to ride Sunday. Thanks for the tip, I will move the cups over in the same position too.

So, by going to the bigger indent, does that soften the ride or stiffen it?

 

BIGGER INDENT = MORE TRAVEL = SOFTER RIDE.

I've been running mine on the softest (one up)setting and they've been able to handle everything well and smooth.

Got about 1000 miles on 'em in two weekends

Just be sure you line the tab up evenly with the cup position.

Guess there could be problems if you're "half way" between settings.

PS:

NH is awesome - when we lived out East, we had good friends in Moultonboro and really loved snowmobiling and boating on Winnepesaukkee. White Mountains must be a nice ride. Only negative about NH for me is that was my first (andhopefully last) serious accident on a scoot - literally totaled it on a sandy downhill S curve - into the ditch and smack dead on into a huge boulder (bike, not me - I jumped off). Still can feel the effects every day 20 years later from that accident.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out later today.

I love NH too. Originally from Mass...I wouldn't go back. Ride the White Mtns several times a year.
