Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Progressive or Race tech

Post by chevyman1 »

Three years ago I put Progressive spring in the front, Big improvement from the stock springs.
The way Pa. roads have been getting a lot of the bumps I was hitting would come up threw the bars and really shock into my arms, almost painful.
After talking with different people last winter I installed Race tech springs and emulators.
what a difference, The ride is better the handling is better it's like a different bike.
The springs I got were one step less then recommended and the emulators I set to what Don Medina told me he had his set at 3 turns off light seat with the light springs, 10w oil.
The Race tech's are about 3 times the money over Progressives but I think they are worth it.
Just wondering what the thought of everybody else are. :thk:

Don Medina put some on his '02 and really liked them because they can be fine-tuned to a riders weight and riding style.
