Hi
Testing is going well have not found any issues yet. Once I get moved into the new house I should be ready to make some Beta test pieces. Should be mid May on those pieces

God bless

Does it affect the hide height at all ?

Hi,

I have a ZPS shock setup so I just set extra sag to keep the ride height the same and it really shines in the rough stuff and on big jumps etc cause with the extra travel I can run a lighter spriing rate and still not bottom out when I don't quite downhill that big jump or ... you get the idea.

It is looking good as far as testing goes. I have to find a local shop to partner with and start getting these out there soon :-D

God bless...

HI,

Been busy with work and getting settled. At this point I just need to talk to the local CNC shop about a production run.

God bless...

Hi,

So through the prodding of a member here I am making one more of these and going to do my best to get a quote to produce a small run of these units. I will get more info up as soon as I get a good idea of cost.

THanks

God bless...
