Aww. You make me blush Cooter  ;D
And it wasn't the led foot that broke that one! It was trying to play NASCAR on a high-bank dirt oval...  ;)


When I got the Busa tranny back from R&D, there was a nice bag of goodies included in the box simply labeled "DEAD".. I found it humorous when I looked inside  rofl

Hmmm, those shocks  look like what we said would happen happened.

flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

thats what you said would happen, when the entire shock shaft was exposed... i ran a thick tube halfway up the spring... as if the spring was halfway on the shock body, but the tube was skinny enough to allow to much bananaing of the spring... thicker tube now, springs cant move side to side while compressed.. just like my front shocks, had springs fully compressed and cant bow out. NOW.

Isn't the problem that the shock shafts themselves aren't sturdy enough?

A couple of my lessons learned.

Always locktie carb baseplate screws when running an open plenum intake.





7.5" S-10 rear end won't take 400hp forever.

Amazing what the pressure washer reveals under all the mud. I did notice a little extra banging in the back on yesterday's ride.
