yeah, same here. I posted a complaint about it. I guess we'll see if they care.
That was an interesting review. It's too bad they ran it on the track with stock tires and shocks. A little caster adjustment would have helped too.
that's the problem with the f-4s. Ya have to keep buying more stuff to do what a Madstad can do right out of the box.
I got to spend the day learning how to run one of these.
It was great! But the paperwork to keep the feds happy will be killer.
That would be cool for parades. They don't like us doing doughnuts for safety reasons, but a wagging tail would give the crowd something to see.
I'm curious. With the linelock set, will you be able to wag it's tail turning the steering wheel back and forth?
Did you buy them on ebay? If so they're lighter spring rates so you'll probably end up with different settings. I was told to start out soft and adjust one click at a time to find the sweet spot.
if you have the 250 lb spring rate, 4 is a good starting point. Take it for a spin and see what you think. I'm at 4 in the front and 3 in the back. I could go a few steps stiffer on the hwy, but like the back roads too much and don't want my teeth falling out.
I don't have a program to open the .mov file. Any chance you could put it on youtube?
The good thing about Madstad. The shields are $160 without hardware. You can have both sizes without breaking the piggybank.
You'll be very happy with the Madstad 11". At 6'4" you'll have no problem seeing over the windshield even with it raised an inch or so for summer riding. I'm 5'10" with a long torso and have both the 9" and 11". I can still see over the top of thee 11" when it's in the down position (great to keep the rain and cold out), but use the 9" when the weather is warmer so I can raise it up for the breeze.
work out a deal with the vendor. You get $450 and he sells it for $995.
I remember that grin. A year later and I still get it when I find a new road.
Welcome to the club!
Display MoreEmailed you to set for stock height. Need to check them against my Paramount fender before I lower them. Really looking forward to getting these on Labor Day weekend
Want to be able to ride there with them already installed
You'll have plenty of room to go up or down with the Paramount fender. I have mine set to stock height and there's a lot of clearance
Bill this isn't a NSFW thread.
@BryanL, thx for the info for us fence sitters, are you using the same spring rate (250/350)? thx Also, there's a lot of overall opinions about poly vs spherical bearings and the gist seems to be poly for street and/or comfort and spherical for track and/or handling.
Yep, I'm running 250/350. It rides great compared to stock. I personally don't know the difference of poly vs. spherical, but Bill and Rab made me think the spherical is better all the way around. I only went with poly because it was easier to shave a millimeter off the poly than to drill the mounts out to 1/2 inch.
@iNewton, where did you see the spring rate? And what is it? Thanks!
It's 250 front and 350 rear. I know it sounds high, but it gives a good ride wirh very little roll in the corners.
Anyone on the fence about these, I can attest to the monster change in handling these shocks will give. I'm running single adjustable and the pot holes and road bumps don't jar my teeth like the stock shocks did. Even though there's 18 settings on the adjuster knob, most will probably find they don't want to go higher than 7 or 8 for most applications 3 or 4 will be extremely smooth. I have the poly bushings, but didn't know any better at the time of purchase. I would have gladly bought these from @Bill from Hahn RaceCraft had they been available two months ago.
You won't find a better deal for a bolt-on setup.
44? Seriously? Holy crap! You're just a kid. I hope you have a great day!
