That instantly reminded me of: ..."it's got eight cylinders, uses 'em all... overdrive, just won't stall"... My pappy said "Boy, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that HOT. ROD. LINCOLN". -Jeff Khoury Astatic Solutions, LLC.

I'm a big guy, but had been losing weight... I was down to 270lbs last summer. The KLR was overloaded, but I was having fun despite that. Due to leg issues I've been having this year, I stopped my regular walks and have gained back 30lbs so far. Too much for the poor KLR... Where I used to just be able to get both sets of toes on the ground, now it sagged so bad that I could get both feet flat, and then some. And that was with pre-load set to 5. I read up on shock replacements and shock spring replacement, but decided to try the raising links and see how much difference it made. I called Mike last week, I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday, and the links arrived in the mail on Saturday. Amazing! The longest part of the installation was borrowing a torque wrench from my neighbor. The rest took about 15 minutes. The links looked very nice. I wish I could afford to have Mike replace all the parts of my KLR with beautiful CNC-milled anodized aluminum replacements. So, did they work? Yes! I am back to touching just my toes... I left the pre-load at 5 for now... I'll reduce it if I lose weight again or if I need a softer ride on the trail, but for regular street riding it seems great. Thanks Mike! Tom

Thanks for the good feed back, unfortunately I already served ( French 11th Airborne, am one of those that used to jump out of a perfectly good plane ..I miss those days ) . But if I read you correctly there is a strong chance that the diesel will be available to a special few ? Correct ?
