I think this project is finally wrapping up. I haven't been able to work on it this week (Rhinoplasty surgery Monday for a deviated septum). I'm still wearing the nose tampon but I won't be able to do much next weekend so I'm using any time I can get.
I've adjusted, driven, adjusted today and it's sitting at 29" in the rear and 29-1/8" to 1/4" in the front. I think the front will settle some when I drive it and get it closer to a flat 29" ride height. That's a 1/2" drop in the front over the old factory springs and 1-1/4" in the back. It's just the right height where people can question if it's stock or lowered. And I don't think I'll have any scraping issues here.
When I drove it today, I got semi aggressive with pulling left and right. It felt soo good. The body roll is gone so it felt much more responsive. The ride quality is smoother than the old worn out springs. I kinda feels like a sports car now.
Tomorrow, I'll double check measurements once more after a quick test drive. If they land where I expect, I'll pull the wheels off one last time and tighten the coilover adjustments and she'll be ready for an alignment.
Speaking of wheels, what better time for a good clean than when they're off? I cleaned the back side with degreaser, scrubbed both sides, let it dry, and wiped the wheels with Honda 08732-SCP00 Spray Cleaner & Polish. A buddy introduced it for my Road King and I've been putting it on everything.
Oh, and I'm waiting on NavTools to ship my unit so I can enable wireless Android / Apple Auto in this old Sync 1 stereo. She just peaked 140K miles but (knock on wood) she'll be good for at least a few more years.
