My new shock
It rides kind of stiff but once it breaks in I think it will be fine. I saved BIG $$$ over a new ohlins too!

Rake the front Fork a bit more and you might have a sellable product...

Be careful how you route the exhaust past that shock. I had one just like it, and know that they don't hold up to extreme temps.

So you think I should route the exhaust? I was going to go with my new (patent pending) "forward-fire" system.

Also, what did you do about WBI* issues?

Make sure to keep the wood moist it will give you better dampening.
