You DID GOOD My favorite sayin is "THE TAIL IS IN THE SCALE" Now you know where you are. I have tried other settings for the chains but dont get the ride I do from 6 links under tension. You have to have bars that flex,large bars take so much energy to flex that when they do bend the rebound is awesome,and at some point the rebound I think can cause loss of control.
Good luck with your setup

Thanks for the vote of confidence Roger!!! I am leaving for a trip tomorrow and will get a good feel for the ride. I have been thinking about maybe going with lower rated bars -- maybe the 600 pounders -- if I don't see the flexing I hope. That will be under consideration after my trip! Now I need to focus on getting the last minute stuff stowed - yawn.
