Huge improvement in handling
« on: March 26, 2004, 01:41:44 AM »

I posted this under SERG and thought it may also be interesting to SEEG guys like JCZ so here it is in the general area:

Just got my '01 SERG back from a full service. Two new things you all may want to check out for any FL models:

1) I put on the True-track torsion arm. This thing is awesome for eliminating porpising and read wheel steer. The bike handles WAY better! Even taking into consideration that I already have the Progressive suspesion upgrades front and rear, this thing REALLY helped. Check it out at true-track.com  It made one hell of a difference. Make sure to get the tool to straighten the cross member, before installing the true track unit even if you do not think it is bent!

2) Out here in the Big Valley we get really hot in the summer so I always in the past have taken off my leg fairings in the Summer. I put in the sping loaded leg vents. They really add some wind. I really won't know if they work well enough to enable me to leave the leg fairings on all year for another month or two but I am really hoping they do.

Garya1 had seen this in thunder press and wondered if it really worked, how about a picture of it on the bike.
