lol, my truck has a better turning circle than the R

err, I wasn't talking about the roof Steve, the key word there was rectum..........that thing could be a bit painful

don't do it dude........you take the risk of a puncture caused by a little prick on the inside

Craig, carry Chop around with you Too Hot My Foot!

I know what you're saying Ben but I think if Peddars have their hands full with the adjustable argument at the moment then the average Joe Blow won't stand much of a chance me thinks. Modern European vehicles come with adjustable airbag suspension but won't go below a certain height to be allowed ADR compliancy....hence why Regency will still tell you to weld adjustable coilovers........hopefully someone like Peddars can take it up to them. A good and similar arguement that I had when getting my bike through Regency is the 550mm maximum rake allowed for the front end.......I had to get the neck of the frame cut and rewelded after taking 4 deg out of the neck. That stuffed up the whole geometry of the bike by affecting the trail. I had to then stuff around with the rake of the triple trees just so it wouldn't be dangerous to ride but ultimately it was perfect the way it was before. Similar can be said about lowering a car correctly......it handles better with the correct suspension compensation.

Minimum ride heights are written.......and for that matter even stock non adjustable suspension is defectable if it's been lowered below written regs

I'm guessing that's what saved his bacon in the end

Ben, it's a play on words.....at the end of the day any suspension that can have ride height adjusted to lower than written regs, is a defect and not only can be enforced but is regularly.

haha boiler room will certainly live up to its name and to think that I worked so many of them throughout the 90's.......NEVER AGAIN!! Did you say digital rectum thermometer?!.........it'd be hotter than 58 deg up there buddy boy It's currently 45 deg out there Steve.....hottest January day in 70 years apparently!

adjustable coilovers have, and always will be defectable, but if they don't contribute to an accident, you're more than likely gonna get away with it.....I can't speak for all insurance companies but they generally share their investigators (subcontactors like me)

please place WTB posts in the correct section above! Thread Locked.

possibly Damo.......if they can deem that the car was way too low and had no suspension travel to transfer weight to your front wheels hence the extra long skid or if the suspension was too stiff and wheels were airborne over a rippled surface.........me thinks you're gonna be stuffed........and pray no one is hurt either.

ahhh, the 2 magic words that are key to any insurance or warranty claim. Also applies to new car warranty.........if you mod a new car and it goes bang, as long as the mod wasn't a contributing factor, you're covered. Mind you, they'll try and bluff you sometimes like the big 90/10 rort that some rip off insurance companies try to put over you, whereby they state that you're 10% at fault just for being there.......even if you were stationary and legally parked!? Can't believe some companies still try that crap.......I suppose that while there are still suckers out there that fall for it, they'll continue to do so.

no probs Adam....seems to be going well so far here's one thing though....please nobody post the short comings of any particular brand, that may give clues on how to get around that particular system.......that will be the doom of this thread.

sounds like the Excess goes down to $500 the day you turn 25 with a slight reduction in Premiums as well so kids, don't crash till you're 25!

Join the club!!

goodluck Adam, but I don't think you're gonna get too many peeps revealing what alarms they've got so your thread is pretty much doomed before it even starts we'll give it a go and see how it fairs

hahaha.......it's probably one of those bikes where you'd have to be mad to steal it if you weren't sure of the owner lol, I'm probably wasting money insuring it come to think of it!!

Pretty much the exact same deal with Shanons for Premium & Excess but insured for a tad more

WOW.......some of you guys are paying some serious dosh for excess, lol Anyhow, here's my deal breaker: Only just over 25 years old Shanons Ins Rating 1 $1100 Premium $500 Excess Insured Value $58K

I'm surprised another Mod hasn't put an end to this thread yet.......you have all overlooked 1 little rule: guys, try and put yourselves in his shoes for a few seconds, I'm sure all you keyboard heroes have made him feel 2 inches tall by now......his initial post was possibly worth a couple of witty replies but this isn't ns.com so please give the guy a break!

wise words Craig.....your Dad's a smart fella

Sorry Matt, he still wants them so I have to hold them for him as promised.

Hey Matt, I'll check with Heslo who put dibs on them and get back to you.

c'mon Dave.....do we really need another thread for a video? Good vid but you know where they go bud. Thread Locked
