Rear Suspension Refresh
Posted on: Thursday March 5, 2026

Posted on: Sunday March 30, 2025
After a few weeks of work and re-work, the dual HS4s are on and running! I’m amazed at the sound difference thru my custom exhaust. Can’t wait to hit the road this season and see how she does on the longer trips. Getting all the other stuff moved and sorted was more work than the carbs themselves. Hear them running here: Photos of the installation and final outcome:
