I have been working on some SS suspension bolts. The first time out I used regular SS (A2) & it was a failure because they could bend too easily. The latest batch are of a much harder grade of SS that is equal to Grade 8 strength. They are a little pricey but they are sweet looking and won't rust. Wish me luck.

Nope, too heavy. These are for the trail bike.

Speaking of when are we going to get some pics of the drag beast?
To be truthful there is nothing to take pics of yet. I have been collecting parts over the last year and a half. The engine case is at the best powder coater in the area as I write this. When I get it back, I will start assembly of the motor. I have all of the parts for the motor I was just wanting to get the case powdercoated and wanted someone real good to do the work. Timbo PC'd the head a little while back. On the chassis, I still need to get the custom parts finished (holy steering stem, lengthened swingarm, and aluminum a-arms). I still need to pick up some more custom items and get most everything PC'd. It will be all black, with just a hint of a different color. This project just has not been on the front burner. I just finnished two & half motors this past weekend and the wifey is screaming for some things to be done around the house.....(they are way overdue..lol). SO it will be a slow process, but I am determined to get this thing done this year.
