make a ramp in your back yard and JUMP them sleds for the first time,maybe your springs will compress enough and you'll have to go and re-paint them again.I had a wild time today with the 600.Pinned to the bar all day,river running,ditch banging,even some boondocking in some 2 foot powder.Jumping driveways was the most fun,was airborne pretty damn good.The 600 performs great and even got it up to 93 mph today and she was purring.Man I love that 600,it just won't quite and nearly 11,000 km's on it.

My 97 twin doesn't have a rear heat x-change, just the side rails and the one in the front.
