    Correction...

    Scotty - what I call "Fender Tips" are actually the Mudflap Lights. At the time I purchased them, that's what Street magic labeled them. Sorry for the confusion. And I agree, they are very helpful.

    Read the thread. Even though I disconnected the link when changing the rear shock and before I started the work, I may still have done something to screw it up. Will need to reexamine.

    The bit of looseness referred to, and it's just a bit, occurs as the armrest is tugged AWAY from the bike. When we ride through the twisties, my wife keeps herself steady by putting her hand over...

    Just catching up on the last several posts.

    Pierre measured ride heights carefully and was not affected.

    Rebuild is not expected until you hit 30-40k miles, depending on ride conditions.

    Meaning they have a different shape or different stiffness? Asked another way, are they interchangeable as with the shocks, so that an RS would benefit from a stiffer sway bar from the RT?
