Hi,
I wasn't aware that such a thing existed. Does anybody out there use stop light trigger devices. I always thought stop lights were triggered by weight, but, apparently they're triggered by metal and m'cycles sometimes don't have enough to trigger them.
I've had to drive out of a few stop lights because they wouldn't trigger.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm extending the front fork tubes on my FLSTCI by 4 inches, I'm thinking that I will need to install a spacer of 4 inches to get the same spring compression with my stock springs. Two questions is this correct and any suggestions on what to use as a spacer, I'm thinking of using a bunch of 1.125 inch washers to make up the 4 inches. Also any ideas on how I know how much fork oil to install after I do this.

Howdy,
I am about to trade up again and am looking at a new '06 dynaglide. My question is I have heard some scuttlebutt that the EPA has screwed things up as far as performance mods go. Stuff like O2 sensors welded in the pipes, so you can only swap slipons not the whole exhaust, being unable to retune the injectors etc. And I have noticed that theres not a lot of stuff out there for the 06 dyna. So my question is two fold A) is the stuff I am hearing true or just another one from the rumor mill. And if the lack of performance hop up potential is true for the dyna series is it also true for the softails?
Anybody with any information I sure would appreciate it....

Have a 99 Wideglide with the stock 130 16 rear tire. the bikes been lowered 1". would like to put a 180 rear with out to many mods. It appears there is enough clearence except for the belt (1.5") any body out ther have any luck or info for this
