This is just a quick Video about the Arlen Ness Mid control adjustment rod issue. This Mid control kit is definitely a comfortable kit, Once this fix is done. Of course this is all my personal opinion. But I've had a lot of others, complaining about this very issue. the bike in the video is my 2020 road glide. check out my video before this one, showing the mid control install.
If you know of any companies that make adjustment rods, drop them in the comments so that others can possibly benefit from it.

      Definitely is personal preference. After installing these, I rode 16 hours straight, Ohio to Florida “ 1,000 “ miles, I didn’t notice any more vibrations over the stock setup. Wonder if it’s peg / mini floor board related? That was another reason I didn’t go with other Mid controls. A lot of them mount to the engine, I figured I’d definitely feel vibrations that way.

      Thank you ! Those are the Kraus 10” with the FX bars they sell. I’ve had them for a few years now. Best bars I’ve ever had. The best part is the bushing is up in the head part of the risers ( VS ) other bars keeping it down by the triple tree. Having it this way, makes for a firm connection but also eliminates 99% road vibrations, rides like a Cadillac. Also if you want to change the height, you can simple buy shorter or longer tubes they sell and swap it out in about 15 minutes. I’ve got 8 “ tubes I’m going to try out and they cost less than a $100… So technically I have 10” t-bars and 8” t-bars whenever I want.

      Thanks ! Honestly if you aren’t having issues with the forks “ leaking “ or “ lack of performance “, I’d just leave them alone. If they start to leak or the dust covers dry out or fail, then I’d suggest a fork rebuild being done. New oil, fork seals, dust covers and copper crush washer would do the trick. As far as the sanding goes, look up crosshatching forks to reduce stiction. It’s been a thing for a long time, definitely a good read.

    • @firemoto227
      @firemoto227 8 месяцев назад

      Think you have me mixed up with someone that commented haha. All good. So I’ve been sanding ( cross hatching ) fork tubes for awhile now. I learned it from an old timer awhile back in my motocross days. Long story short, new seals and new tubes essentially don’t work super well together because they will tend to stick. Cross hatching allows for them to slide better. Also allows for microscopic amounts of fork oil to get into the scratch’s and keep things lubed. You’ll never notice it with the naked eye, if it’s done correctly. This is a very deep hole of a subject amongst gear head racers, and even online. I’d suggest anyone to do some homework on it still if they don’t already know about it.
