Yep, clack means they aren't adjusted correctly.

Default Got the rickers put in!

Well, I got them done but it took about 4 hours. Once I got it 100% I drove it up the street and there was a real noticeable horse power change. I was unable to get tires to break loose when stomping on the peddle before, now the thing gets all kind of crazy.

I had hoped for a nice horse power increase but was shocked to have such a noticeable difference.

Thanks to everyone's help and advice.

Post your pics on Photobucket first.

Then use the pictures properties "Direct Link" from there to paste into the post your are typing, Use the "Insert Image" mountain looking button up on the top of the menu.

It's real easy once you figure it out.
