Raising the ride even further

I recently fitted some D&D Lowcats to the Fatboy and even though they are up-swept they can touch down a little on very tight turns like a roundabout. So I've raised the ride height a tad and also re-located a couple of the heat shield clips. In fact as I write this I am wondering whether the clips touching down could have caused the pipe to touch-down. Must get out and test that theory out now that they are already scratched up! Still lovin the Fournales though.

Perfect balance

I've now done approximately 8,500km on the fournales and they are well and truly run in. I haven't adjusted them since the last time, so the rear is sitting at about 10mm lower than stock. Hammered up to Toodyay and back today and the bike was planted. Just waiting to have the forward controls fitted this week and I will be truly happy. (until the next mod fever). Still thoroughly recommend fournales to anyone looking for a firm ride that won't bottom out on WA's shitty roads.

3500km...Down again by 10mm!

Now I think we have the perfect balance between show and go for the fournales! The bike rides firmer with no wallow and doesn't swat under hard acceleration and the bike doesn't look so jacked up at the back. Hopefully it will still feel like this the next outing (in the morning to the breakfast club). Pic soon.

First we went down..by 20mm

So I dropped the back by 20mm, approximately 10-15mm lower than the stock suspension. This felt fine in the city but I noticed that on the next long ride in the country the bike felt less settled, and the rear wallowed for the first time since fitting the fournales.
