Hi, I'm Paul (aka dbluefish) from Tallahassee, FL by way of Brattleboro, VT. My current ride is an '09 Vivid Black XR and now my partner has the 'big' bike with her '05 Deuce! lol

Looking forward to gathering info on this site for the XR.

A starting point is how do you folks adjust the right side shock without removing the mufflers? My dealer will not sell me the HD part that does the job with a 3/8" drive extension and ratchet!

Thanks and hopefully when i figure out how to do it I will include pics.

It wanders just a bit...:whistling:...but you'll see how Dallara and Floridacars ended up adjusting theirs.
