The preload can be set Very hard, at themaximum preload it will kick butt and the bike will be dangerous to drive on bumpy roads and in curves in case you are not real heavy.

Damn good looking bike ! Is it a Laser exhaust, the nice fat middle pipe looks like the one i had but the muffler looks better than the Laser I had.

I guess you are asking Lee even though you replied to my post. I'll ride solo until some high breastedblond wants to be on back, then I may change :-)
