Bitubos ain't worth a chit if you have them adjusted for one up, no TP, and add a passenger, TP, luggage etc and ride all the way from Kentuckly to CHL. Don't ask me how I know this. I rode on the bottom the whole way.

You won't ever leave home without your special wrench again, will you?

Carry the spanner wrench with you. ::)

It takes a few minutes to crank em up. But you rode hundreds of miles bottomed out! :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss: ::) :P ;D

So how do you add a poll to a thread "after" the fact?

Duane,
Have you ever scraped floorboards.........solo and/or 2up?  If so, and you wish to prevent it.......to an extent, go with standard height. 

Henry - Yes I have, but that may have more to do with extending my floorboards. My right floorboard has a 2" extension on it.

Your first post should have an "ADD POLL" button.

Two areas of improvement with the Bitubos over the Progressives. One, you can adjust the compression damping to do a better job of soaking up the bumps. Two, the bump stop is a lot softer, so when you do bottom out, it's not nearly as hard as with the Progressives.

The Progressives only have spring preload to adjust ride height so you kind of are stuck with how they perform, and that bump stop is too hard.


Even without doing the front end this was a goal, because of the 3 adjustments. And you're not kidding about the bump stop.

And you didn't stop why?
Just goes to show Ken, maybe you shouldn't have that high tech VRSCE, better let me know when to come down and take it off your hands.

Duane,

We're not telling you anything you don't already know. Ride height affects lean angle and your ability to reach the ground. I think the rest is up to you. I want the lean angle and at 6'4", I don't have to worry about reaching the ground. It's a no-brainer for me.

I stopped, but couldn't find anything to adjust the shocks with. Left the spanner wrench at home. NEVER again.

My right FB is extended ~one inch.  I haven't scraped since I've had my AK-20s and Bitubos.

It's at the bottom, not the top. It's in the dark blue buttons to the bottom right of the last post in the thread.
