ok, no motor, and no 200 lb fat ass sitting on the bike....how do i know what to adjust the bike? do i have to wait for the motor to go in....

the "rings" were almost all the way down, and the suspension was super tight. i moved the "rings" up maybe 1" and its a lil better. whats the word on these suckers? :laugh:

is the frame sitting at the level you want bike to sit at?
around 180 lbs of bags of concrete or sand from hardware store would be in ball park of motor without carbs B)

Still recovering,some days are better than others.
