If you worked yesterday then took the bike, that was like pulling a double shift, I'm waiting for the Dyno also. You're going to love those shocks, just remember it takes a few hundred miles and some adjusting to break them in.

We both get up at 4am thru the week so we are feeling it today for sure. We got in at 1:30 last night & back up 3 hrs later. No rest for the wicked!!!

Im anxious to compare the shocks to the Ohlin 6 series that are on the RGU now. Ive ridden it several times and really like them. As soon as Frankie pulls the Ohlins off the RGU, he'll install them on this bike and then get the JRIs on the RGU for me.

For what little bit Frankie has ridden the Frankenglide, he is impressed with the power. Spools up quick, hits the redline quick too....lol

Tonight we took off the Ohlins off the RGU and replaced them with JRIs. The Ohlins will go on Frankenglide.

I didn't get a chance to ride the RGU yet to see how I like them.

Love what you guys are doing! I have a question/observation. Does Frankenglide have raked trike trees? I put them on my bike and attempted to install the speedo/tach housing. But I failed miserably. Please document that process when you get to it.

I purchased Harley raked trees for a trike. I did not rake the neck. I installed a 21 inch front wheel. I was not able to install the Roady front I wanted. I had to resort to the batwing. I did the mod with 1700 miles on my bike. I just rolled over 14k. It rides, steers, and handles like a dream. I'm not saying it's better then stock, but I feel there is not a difference, but it looks way better.
