Here are some more photos.

Spring free length is about 8", not 10". Actually, 200mm.

With adjuster screwed all the way up, there is still less ground clearance than with stock shocks.

OAL is the same. Spring wire diameter is larger, smaller diameter coil, coil length the same. Travel is restricted by the thick bumper; about 5/16" less, am guessing about 5/8" less...

Well, they sent them to me already set for my weight. I increased the preload by 2 1/2 turns. There is only about 2 turns left and the adjuster will bottom out.

My comparison between the Elka's...

Thanks, JC. Mine is the F3T, but Elka rep assures me they are all the same. The different part numbers for springs and shocks are, according to him, just because of different vendors. At any rate,...

For anyone contemplating changing to the Elka front shocks on their F3T or Limited, my suggestion is don't.

I did, and am basically out the money. The problem is, the Elka's have less travel, and...

Very nice windshield! Quiet and no buffeting, even at freeway speeds.

I found out the Garmin harness plugs directly into the Spyder harness, BUT the configuration of the holder is for the newest Zumo's, not the older 660 or 665. So I found the correct harness on-line...

For what it's worth, I have the new CalSci on my 2016 F3T. It works great! I must look through it, but it is quiet behind the windshield, a lot like my friend's Spyder RT Limited. On that bike...

Just traded my ST-S SE5 on a 2016 F3T. I had the factory floorboards installed and really like them. There is plenty of room to move my feet fore and aft. Much more comfortable than the pegs.

Here is the "shortened" CalSci windshield with the stock shield shown for comparison.

For me, the stock windshield was good around town or easy rides. But, over 55 mph or so, there was too much turbulance and buffeting. The sharp recurve at the top of the stock shield contributes to...

I went to CalSci with my 2013 ST-S. They measured with me sitting in riding position, then took what they call the ST Medium XW and cut a couple inches off the top. I am 5'9" tall, and like to look...
