Does anyone know if there are any changes other than color choices for the 2007 model?

I think maybe the tires have 1 psi less air in them. dhodges75 wrote:

They finally fixed the doohicky. Sure, that rumor has shown up each and every year, but maybe this time it will be true. -- Doug Herr doug@...

I think they used less grease in the swing arm and all the screws and bolts are looser

That, plus they switched the valve caps - front to rear/rear to front. Something to do with the reduction in air pressure. Mike Frey wrote: I think maybe the tires have 1 psi less air in them. dhodges75 wrote:

I have heard they have been studying different brake improvements. Parachutes are a new option. Criswell

Regan-- My friend Dave and I put 1/2" white nylon spacers between the pedestal and guard bar, just as Norm describes below. Then I went out for my first lesson on dirt and fell once on each side (just as a test, you understand). The guards did their job, the spacers stayed whole. Acerbis also sells a more expensive pedestal, that has an extra adjustable angle on it. It shouldn't be necessary though. --James Tue Jun 27, 2006 4:32 pm (PST) Lever guards often need fiddling or shimming between the clamp pedestal and guard bar. Start with the clamp placed against the handle bar and see how the bar lines up. You will likely find that it isn't too far out. Once that is determined, mount the clamp loosely to the handle bar and then hold the guard bar against the end of the handle bar grip. Will a stack of washers or other spacer fill the gap between the pedestal and the guard bar? I like the Emgo #79-9721 guards although they aren't as pretty as some, they will allow the original Kawi plastic guard (buckets) to be bolted to the front of the Emgo which gives good water protection. The holes on the Emgo are 1/4 national coarse (1/4- 20 tpi). If you are concerned about "pretty" you should have bought a green one! (VBG) HIH Norm
