<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My gram guage only goes to 10g and the Renner spec
on spring tensions are 30g or more. So measuring spring tensioning on
the dampers is beyond my ability at this time.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Gene said: "the lift lever flange friction is not specified anywhere that
I can see. Renner does give the spring tension adjustment numbers but I do not
have a gram gauge to do that."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Gene,</DIV>
<DIV>The S&S recommended gram weights: "Under Lever Flange: 3-6 grams", (I
prefer 3-5)</DIV>
<DIV>
"Under Lever Top Flange: 1-3 grams"</DIV>
<DIV>I'm curious....if you..."do not have a gram gauge to do that", than how
the heck did you come to the conclusion that all are in the 4-4.5gram
range?!!!!!</DIV>
