Just a brief history.. I'm 58, been riding bikes since 1965.. Have logged over 175,000 miles to date. This is my first non yammie bike.. So far so good.. I've owned my 09 america for 5 weeks now, 2,200 miles.. Lots of fun. Great gas mileage. 50/54 ave. I've been lurking about two weeks now,, Trying to learn what I can. I would like to know more about the 440 rear shocks??? Also I posted in the tech. sect. about changing my 17 tooth front sprocket to a 16.. What +/- changes it would make.. I'm a real snowmobile nut.. Cycles get me thru summers, but my true love is sleds... How do you post photos???? Once I find out I'll post photos of both my loves. Thanks in advance. MMV.
