[QUOTE="davidd, post: 19034, member: 1177"] [FONT=Calibri]I believe there should be symmetry in all things so I think that Vincent maintenance should harbor as many exciting moments as riding. I do think that YoungJohn should know that the damper limits the suspension travel for the Girdraulic, which is why the fork moves further without it. However, I do not remove anything and I have done this a few times. I changed springs for others on three separate occasions at the Colorado Rally, so I prefer it to be a ten or fifteen minute job. You definitely need a ratchet strap for side car springing! All of my springs now have no preload, so I just jack the bike up and there is no tension on the box – even the side car spring. This does not upset the symmetry equation as it eliminated some very exciting handling and braking issues.[/FONT] [FONT=Calibri] [/FONT] [FONT=Calibri]David[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
