Nice they're in better shape then mine. I was going to re coat the shaft but it's not really worth it. What compression assembly do you have? PC hasnt really told me which one will work.

DB97 sorry hadnt looked in a bit - The kid 857 - The HSC adjuster you have with the restrictor is an A kit adjuster, but it's the one piece style setup. PC can modify this to function in the production 19 shock. The 19 shock has the oversized HSC adjuster standard from the factory, but it doesnt have the restrictor setup that the A kit stuff has.

DB97 - Its not a "honda" specific a kit adjuster. Its basically ANY A kit HSC adjuster assembly, from kit shocks the general consumer would be able to purchase. If you called PC tomorrow and bought a brand new A kit shock as Joe Blow, you'd have this one piece style adjuster. If you purchased a second hand A kit shock that came from Pro circuit, chances are its been altered and is a 3 piece setup (no circlip retaining everything together internally). Hopefully this helps? I have photos I can show of both styles if necessary.
if you get a chance can you post those pictures of the two different adjuster styles? I’m not sure which one I have, I’m getting a 19 soon and would like to keep my kit stuff if possible. Anybody thought about millling the lugs on the forks for the bigger front axle?

I like that muffler. Is it much louder? Was it hard to do?
Thinking about getting mine shortened.

Not hard at all . I used a miter box for the aluminum and hacksaw for the inner core then just drilled new holes . It's not really any louder and didn't notice any power difference .

I think all the mounts are the same but if I remember right the Ride Engineering mounts only work in the rear position. The front mount holes on the triple clamp are offset a little closer together and won’t work with the Ride Engineering one piece top clamp plate...

It's really tight between the roller and swingarm with the chain. I'm assuming once we ride it will cut down some.

Ride engineering site shows it's the same part # but I used a promo code and free shipping a bto sports and can get it a lot cheaper they list 19 250f and list a 18 450f it should work right

Got a Bill's system for mine. Haven't ridden with it yet, but it is shorter and looks much better than the stock exhaust in my opinion.

It’s an issue with any muffler that isn’t rubber mounted. You can send a non rubber mounted muffler back to PC and they will rubber mount it

So will the previous years oem black skid plate bolt right up? It looks like it will. I don't have to have the big fancy works connection skid plates but I do like to have A skid plate there.

Hinson setup went in without drama. Thanks to a previous poster on this thread for helping me to remember to drop the basket to a full engagement point with the starter gear. There is one step to be careful with if you smoked weed/ drank beer prior to beginning the work. Make sure you know which side the drive gear faces on the basket.
