  1. 1400 sq ft single level living space. Not heating attached garage or basement "yet" (that's another 1900 sq. ft.). Combo boiler/tankless water heater is 18K to 120K BTU/H for heating and 18K to 199K BTU/H for hot water. They installed 11 baseboard radiators, 3 zones, 420 ft. of 3/4" copper, and of course the main unit w/exhaust and intake and all the doo-dads. Also took away the old 50 gallon water heater. Already had the 500 gallon propane tank installed (buried) 2 years ago. 2-4 guys were here for a full 5 days (although one was an apprentice)...Total was about $15K.

  2. I was joking about my changing size as well. An older response from Rick at Cogent was that a OEM was a poor choice. It required a nitrogen fill fitting, and one of the internals was built in a way that it could not be rebuilt. Now that was a 6 year old thread, I'm going to ask if things have changed. Rick set my fork rebuild for my size back when. They gave a noticeable ride difference. But the bike still hobby horses on certain roads. My problem is that my skills aren't good enough to know a good ride from a great ride. 10 to 15 years ago, I thought that I needed full adjustable everything. Now I rarely do pillion, or track days. I hope to find a economical shock, set by a good tuner for my size. Why have all the extra adjustments, if I am not capable to use them. I do know that a undersized OEM at 60k miles could be better. I plan to call a few places next week and ask. Our XX is pretty old now. But second generation owners are starting to ask the same questions that we asked originally. I hope that there are improved products now. And yes, the good tuners can set the shock to the correct response for your size and riding style. You just can't fine tune like the big boys. I know that I could never set SAG correctly at 240 lbs and the stock spring.

  3. Ken...It's pretty close to perfect. There was s scratch on the rear grab rail...which I replace with a new one. There is a couple of minor scratches on the mirrors, which mostly polished out and there is one small scratch on the front fender...which I was planning to have repainted. It has a small scratch on the stator cover of which I have a new cover to replace. It now has a MRA Touring screen on it. Here are pics of the day I brought it home. ...and the Redbird...just because
