Sheppo do you think a suspension adjustment would fix that?
Merry Christmas on the parts :)
what's bottoming out, the fender on the head light? or?? I can't imagine your forks bottoming out. Sounds like the headlight might need custom mounts with the clip ons..

Anyone going from Seacoast in Derry this time? I've been trying to make it to one all year with no luck.

Re: Sept 16th...this is it....The LAST one
Thanks Sheppo! :bananna: I still owe you a beer though, so you'd better be up for Lin Garden Tuesday!!!
It's the head light mount smacking into where the forks go into the wheel. I had to drop the head light mount down in order to fit the clamps onto the forks, I had to take it down by about an inch. I'll have to look around to see if I can find any custom head lamp mounts... *swears*

OK so the headlight hits the fender or some part because it's lower.. hmmm can you trim the top part of the original bracket to push it up a bit higher? *goes off to look at the 'puter*
I'll be at the garden ;)

Re: Sept 16th...this is it....The LAST one
Just so we don't miss anyone this week... Why don't we have everyone meet at the NESR banner near the flagpole at 8. We'll make introductions, shoot the shit and then head out for Chinese.
I'll bring nametags ;)

I'm out of work by 4/430 and I drive by BMS on my way home...(which is literally 5 min from BMS) I'd be up for either option.

OK so you need to modify the headlight brackets that mount to the fork tubes to raise the light the amount you had to lower it to accomidate the clipons. can it be cut and welded? Bent? cut and welded to the clipon? I would imagine the light sucks now being an inch +/- lower.

I still don't think I will have a job by next week, so I will basically be riding all day before going to bike night.
I think one of the previous posters indicated he might be heading down from Maine. I might try to meet up with him and then pick up people in NH.
that was me, im Ports, so i assume that you have to pass by there on your way down unless you take some wacky route.

Right. I don’t know how to weld and I don’t think my Dad has the tools either. I may have to search for a prefabricated option I think. I’m not sure how well my headlights work, I haven’t ridden the bike since I switched the parts. I’ve gotten complaints about my headlights on low beam before though, so hopefully its not too bad.

TJ,
since nick is out do you want to lead? this has 2 advantages 1. you know where you are going and 2. since you will already be in front you wont have to pass me on the outside. although nick way nice enough to unload some corsa III's on me and i changed my gearing so maybe that will help things.

Well, I am sure they appreciate having your permission to attend an open public event and get there in/on the transportation mode of their choosing. What a nice guy!
