eat more doughnuts...

but seriously have someone take the same side image with 2 front passangers in the bus. the extra 300-400#'s might be just the ticket to level it out.

also as mentioned a sagging rear will pull the nose upwards.

So this stance is 2.5 drop spindles - everything else stock?

This is a pretty old thread but it's still a mystery to me.
Yep, I've got the stock size tires, too, Yokohama 'super vans' 185R14.
Any ideas?

It could have to do with your close proximity to "the square"...or "redwood park". Everything seems to be "riding high" around there... Wink

it's an Arcata yoke


Arcata downtown square,never been there..cough,cough...

actually I used to hang there to score buds when passing thru

A little late in response here - I just came back to this post to look at a pic, missed the notification as so often happens Embarassed I've never figured out how to subscribe to a topic here.

They only go in one way. There us an 'X' shape in middle of the upper and lower beam to fit the leaves. At the center the leaves are wide; the ones on top and bottom are narrow so it forms an X. The torsion bars have the same shape. So really they go on 4 ways but there's only 1 that is remotely right. That piece(pieces) in the middle is how the front is lowered, drill out the welds, rotate it and weld it back in place apparently.
