Removed the rear suspension to send to Suspensions by Sasquatch to have it redone. Anxiously awaiting the new unit!

A hard tail Steamer, that sounds interesting.

You'll be buying an HD next  :lol:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Spring has been shipped, but with the holiday, I am anticipating having it done by Monday/Tuesday of next week.

Colonel Nikolai

Cool! Hopefully I won't be installing it when snow is on the ground, but if I have to, I will! :)

I totally can't wait. I'm just bummed that the conditions might be too icy to even try it out :cry: but we'll see.

8) I can't wait to hear what you think about it.  Of course considering we're getting about 6" tomorrow you might have to wait until January before the roads are clear enough.  If you like winter rides I'm always game so give me a holler!

Got the new shock tonight! First noticeable difference: The spring is shorter and progressive. I have to start shoveling out my sidewalks and driveway before I can even think about putting it back in the Tiger. *Sigh*

 :cry:

The only thing surprising me is the preload nut is free-spinning now: I thought that was the thing that's supposed to, erm, preload the spring? Should it be snug against the spring mount or is it vestigal now?

i think you will need to set the sag, thus the free spinning nut. mine came like that from sasquatch, and when he explained to me what to do, it made sense.  congrats, cant wait for the ride report.  by the way - went for a spin today - 28 deg. in the sun - after 40 miles at 70, my fingers were frickin burning numb, but at least there was no snow :lol:
