Thank You Joe...this site rocks

1997 service manual..mostly need it for chaseing electrical probs away from home

Help...I had previously downloaded the xx service manual to my phones Microsoft office app....my phone melted down and now I am searching forum to find it again....and yes I tryed the useful tidbits section and the link says 'page not available' I know the bbs are reliable but I still feel better with tools in the givi and a pdf in my pocket when I'm 300 miles from home.

for $ 330 and use stock valving it sounds like a plan for now. i assume that you can still set front spring sag by shimming the springs.i dont like being a cheapass,but the total purchase, mods,new pirelli angel gts,and prog springs total $5000. I could have bought a dif kind of touring bike allready set up for my needs cheaper but I wanted a 97 BB. I owned a new one in 97 and rode it 2 seasons and sold it.nothing I have owned or ridden has compared since. ill prob upgrade the front fork and rear shock to a prof set up after market down the road.

Ill check out the hyperpro progressive for the front too i guess.I cant stand that mushy front fork

Crud...recommended rear spring is 19 stock is 16.8...not available above 16.1. Do the progressive springs work well on the xx?? I'm thinking maybe racetech 1.2 on front and progressive on rear,springs only,stock dampening.I don't do race days and have 160 lb wife on the back quite a bit.

Thanks guys.1.2 and check out new rear spring.its already shimed 6mm

Deeper exhaust tone and less heat for cheap.hmmm

I'm going to order race tech springs for my 97xx.I need suggestions for spring rate to buy.I am not changing the fork dampening or rear spring/ shock at this time,rear has 6mm shim.I weigh 230 lbs.

Tryed it without mufflers.To freekin loud with no baffles..dammm..I want it to growl not make my wife's ears bleed

I'm gonna try this on My '97 and if I like it jet to accommodate...woohooo

I'll def have to sync the carbs..it does idle a little rough at 1200 rpm warm..I'm waiting a couple weeks for warmer weather and striping lower fairings to scrub the motor and frame area that you can't see

It's real nice...I paid $3600 for my 97 with 27k on it last month and by the look of the pics you posted yours is cosmetically in better shape and has all the goodys and susp work done already...hang in and you will find her buyer

Damm nice bike.make a great daily rider.by the time my victory sells it will be gone for sure.
