    That would be pretty slick. Are you going to take the guts out of the Padde and try to incorporate them into the the Switch housing/ faceplate?

    yes and no. I want to redesign the internals so they will fit. Redesign from the ground up using microprocessors.

    In reality, national luna could take their current system, since they have the patents, and make their units redesigned and fit into this form factor. We all know how BIG BUSINESS works though. Very hesitant to change anything.

    I really like the new springs actually. Rides like a full size, much more firm but not stiff

    Sway bar off? If its not once you take the off it feels like your floating on a cloud when you hit huge potholes or other junk. It does lean a lot more in the turns however.

    Sort of:D It used to max out the sway bar over bumps so it would stop the suspension from working, I could feel every bump in 495. Now i just get body roll on the rotary.

    I did the swaybar relocate kit when I lifted mine, which I though was supposed to prevent that. I never really liked how my Caddy felt like it was floating, especially at higher speeds.

    I suppose the relocation kit would have helped a bunch. But i can live with no sway bar and it really helps offroad i don't spin the tires as much because they weight is displaced properly. I don't hit high speed anymore, i cruise right at 70 for the fuel economy i get 19 or so. Any faster than that and i get 15 or worse.

    I rarely go over 75 in the truck. I used to get the Caddy up to 90+, where I could actually watch the gas gauge drop. One of these days I'll try removing the sway bar and see how it drives.

    Sometimes I take my truck up to 80 or so just to keep up with traffic on 95 south, but not very often

    I also realized the speedo on the bike is wrong. It reads 10mph slower than I'm actually going. Haven't ridden the thing in a while though.

    Paid off the loan today. Gonna sell it once I get the title in hand. Already have a buyer lined up
