My Flash2Pass opener is wired to the high beam circuit. It works, but it isn't nearly as entertaining as this one!... :laughing6-hehe:

Install Lindemann Engineering forks and Penske triple-clicker shock Find some good weather and dial it all in Install a fuzeblock FZ-1 to clean up accessories wiring (GPS, Gerbing controller, Battery Tender pigtail, Flash2Pass garage door opener) Make a list of all the rides I want to do next year Find some good weather and RIDE! (I'd much rather ride than winterize, and even in Oregon there's weather that's good enough to ride in off and on all winter.)

Nevermind! ;-) I should have exhausted my own resources before I asked. In my "files" (a charitable word for how I store stuff), I found an article I copied several years ago from an old issue of Sport Rider magazine, and it's exactly what I need right now. "Five Steps to a Great Suspension Setup" by Andrew Trevitt. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to set up their suspension to suit their own preferences. If you're interested, you can find it online at My link.

This is REALLY helpful, but for me it raises a question. Several actually! I ride a 1200 FD, and am trying to get more comfortable on it. I'll probably put myself in the hands of a suspension guru at some point soon, but before I do I'd like to be a more knowledgable consumer of their services. You say not to fiddle with damping adjustments until after "properly" setting sag. But how do you "properly" set sag? Do you mean setting it to stock specs? or to the 25% to 33% of suspension travel I've seen as a rule of thumb? or something else? (I now how to measure sag, I just don't know how to decide what to set the measurements to.) Sag settings -- along with other means of changing front and rear ride height -- also have an effect on steering geometry (rake and trail). Is there similar guidance anywhere on how to "properly" set steering geometry and feel? And finally, how do you know if your spring rates are too hard or too soft? How do you decide whether spring rate is a problem and whether stiffer or softer springs are worth the effort and money? Thanks, VFRD, for whatever light you can shine on these subjects for me...
