Stock shock travel. 5.6 inches However, you want the travel for the Progressive shock absorber, which is 6.3 inches.

Thanks Spud. I'm more interested in the travel of the rear wheel vs the shock travel. The rear suspension linkage will come into play so 1" of travel on the shock won't equal 1" of rear axle movement. If 142mm is the rear axle movement I'm looking for about 30% of that for laden sag. That means about 42mm of sag when I'm sitting on the bike. Right now I'm well shy of that mark. On the front end I'm not sure how I can make much of an adjustment since there is no adjustment for preload. This will be an experiment to balance spring tension, rider weight, and shock adjustment...should be fun.

Congrats sister! I will have to get my camera charged for this big event. I cannot wait! And it could not have come at a better time. My HD needs new lifters, rods and chain tensioners. So the RX3 will get tons of love this summer. I am super stoked! Can't wait to see pics of your bike. I bought the orange one.

Out messing around with a Tascam DR-40 to capture how the bike actually sounds when riding vs all the horrible audio on most action cameras, here's the end result.
You guys can probably see why my MPG average is 53, I'm pretty sure the throttle has two settings, on/off. |
