I have these on my 600 Hornet. I did not have to use them, but the previous owner did with no damage to the bike . I guess they passed the test.

This is standard procedure and how I learned it. However, I cannot convince my kids to do it this way. Good old times!

I completely agree. Here, I pay $52 to mount and balance a $104 tire, it is a joke. The worst part is that I usually have to rebalance the tire myself after checking the balance on my stand. I think, next time, I will go to a small independent Harley shop for $20 cash and balance it by myself

Welcome to the forum from the Northeast. You got yourself a really nice bike. It should be more than a commuter bike.

Yeah! Rub it in! Just got rid of 1 foot of snow and now ice rain tonight

Welcome to the forum from the East Coast! Good choice!

As always, Captain is correct! Not a banjo!

For those interested, Formula one teams did a lot of experimentation with velocity stacks in the 60ties. It was called air resonance charging if I remember correctly. The idea behind was that the air in a long stack with certain conical profile and diameter to length relation could be accelerated in the intake by resonance. There were even books in the engineering section of my school about it. I played with this many moons ago on my first underpowered car and limited funds. These were cool times

Welcome from the East Coast! Nice bike, looks to be in great condition. What type of exhaust do you have mounted under the seat?

...and a really cool reference to the forum!

Thank you for the tip, this will be easy then!

This is cool, thank you. Now, I will have to find a printer to print it in a larger size than a standard paper sheet.

Not to add to more complexity. did you check the head bearings? Many many moons ago, I had a 250 which Was lazy to turn in. The problem was a too tight head bearing.

I am with Progressive now for 4 years, the process to get coverage was very easy. I do not remember if there was a question about DL suspension. Cannot comment on claims as I did not have any (knock on wood!) Good Luck to you!
