   I like!!!   Those really look great on your Av Sober Biker....gives it a "grrrrrr" look!   

[bluedevil]

I love it. Very impressive there woody


Did the ride feel changed?

[oHIobellboy]

looks good,,,now a matching set for the bike!

[Donnie1]

Man, that does look good. Sets it off quite nicely.

[Sober Biker]

Thanks guys. I agree about the GRRRRR look Mo. That's exactly what I was hoping for.

And yes Blue Devil, the ride changed slightly to what seems to be a bit harder. Seem to feel the bumps a bit more. Might be my imagination, but it seems that way.

I'm also thinking that I need to raise the front a tad. I think it's rubbing. With all the snow we've had, I wasn't sure that it might be buildup from the slush, but all that should have melted off during the install at the tire place. So I need help in learning how to crank up the torsion bars. The '03 can be raised that way correct?

[oHIobellboy]

yeah, I'd like to hear about that torsion bar raising on my o4 as well.

[MoAv]

Torsion bar??   

[bluedevil]

Yes you can raise 1"-2" or maybe a bit more from the torsion keys.   You will need to realign the AV again.

....or.......Some folks like Sunburst05 (Dave) rather  use keys from a Ford F-150 already leveled.
