Anticipation is killing me...

They are indeed, performance shockies are like that . . . yeah they are!
OEM shockies are for boat performance!

I think the oem’s are a harsh ride. Not sure which shocks would offer a good ride good handling on $hit roads we have?

I sure do agree with you here, Chris!
More than a slight PITA to adjust two headlights, especially with the archaic, crude mounting adjustment provided by Triumph!
Wish there was a more modern, up to date, dual 5¾" headlight mount and adjustment system available that would provide consistent finite adjustment of both lights.
An electric one adapted from a cage would be SWEEEEEEET!

I just grabbed both lights and moved them. The whole bracket moves with a little pressure.

I don’t think so, but it’s can make my kidney hurt.

The headlights are on individual mounts with a simple, unpredictable lock nut that does not allow for accurate or equal settings.

NOT fun!
I know . . .
At least the 444s are easy to hand adjust the pre-load . . .

So, yesterday, I dropped the beast off at the shop having Progressive springs installed and a Dyno pull finally run before installing my Viking header. Yes, it has been sitting here taunting me for weeks.

Anyway, these just showed up making it worse.

Why would you have a Dyno pull BEFORE you put on your header ? Before and after numbers ?

Yes, before and after. As yet we have none for the Viking header alone that I am aware. Always after a combination of performance mods are made.

This one will give me the Ramair/crossover/cans number. Then I'll do another with that same equipment and the Viking header.

Temps and humidity in Miami for the next two weeks are close enough to be negligible on the dyno numbers.

I didn't even look, just grabbed and moved them.

Quite the incisive technician you be there, oh Boudin Master!
