versa, i had the same problem 1500 mile bike like new got stuck 2x. with different causes but similar, same ,in-that it was the white wire harness connectors that came slightly unconnected. once to the decomp plug and second to the ignition switch .i used the 2 and one zip tie method and as good measure did every fing one of them no problems since the connector keep together clips are a joke at least for the 2009 model year eta on visual inspection you could not see lack of proper contact till you tuged on it and it came fully apart Angry

I got the front fender thinking I may pop the 4 rivets connecting it to the fork bracket and attach it to the vz bracket as it has fork shields on it.

I don't recall checking them on the savage forks but I had checked all that I had... 71 cb500, gs650 that would fit with some minor mods like what dave noted on the goldwing/750 fender.

and there's a chrome vs900? fender that's close too.
the gs series, have slightly wider mounting holes like the 750.

The 412's I have are too light for me.
I have a set of 418's that are just right.
both are 11", the 418's have better damping then the 412's

I have the intruders set to the lowest preload and I'm thinking of going up 1 click.
They may feel better because of the longer throw and the lighter setting.

In case it helps anybody...I finally found out what the spring ratings are for the Progressive 412 shocks. (It is not published and you have to get a catalog to find out).

The standard rate springs are 120/170, and the Heavy Duty rate is 140/200.

You can get a lighter spring that is 105/150, and a really light 90/130. (These rates are for the 12.5", 13", 13.5" and 14.25" shocks.

yes, dual vw air filter.
somebody with a vintage voodoo build suggested it and it really works for my build.
the 2 filters are connected with a 2" tee and in turn there's a 2" to the carb intake sili rubber transition I got on fleabay.

Would love to see a closer pic of that set up. I have been concerned that my small single filter might not give me the volume needed for my mods. I might have to steal that idea( not so much copy it) but just do my own version of it. The single filter I bought for the bike came in a 2 pack on eBay sorry fleabay so I have a spare,destiny,things happen for a reason!
