    Default well it's in and being assembled

    went out to the dealer today because the bike arrived there today. so being the pest that i am i took a ride out there and watched them un crate the bike and went over every square inch of it. they also got their first shipment of indians in and people were picking up two of them.

    now i had them check because i was under the impression that the bike came with fox adjustable shocks but they said only the other bikes came with them and that the shocks on the rt are new and made for the bike. the tag on the crate said the mfg date was 3/4/14 so do you think the lil oil leak was fixed by that time.

    here is the link for photobucket to see the pictures

    I don't think you have to worry about the oil leak it was identified well before that date. The sticking key may be an issue though

    Pretty cool that you got to see it uncrated. I agree about the hand brake. I've got it on mine and absolutely love it. I use it 95% of the time. It's sounding like a long weekend of riding is going to be a reality for you. Good deal.

    Well John, be sure to keep us up on how the 14 is treating you. We can only guess that you'll like it, but only you can tell us if that's true or not. Here's hopeing it's everything you wanted out of the other one.

    Default Adjustable shocks ?

    I haven't read anything anywhere about the "new sachs" shocks being adjustable. "Bigger piston diameter and better dampening capacity" is how BRP describe them.

    If you're talking about the new 2014 RT, the shocks are NOT adjustable

    Great that you were able to see your ryde being uncrated. It was also really nice to the the pictures of Indians as well. Those of us of a certain age remember Indians with great fondness and rattling of brain, and that's one of the reasons we now ride a . Know you had probs with your '13, but you are a brave guy to stick with it. Hope this one does it for you.
