lush!!

i like what you did with the back seat area, sort of like what i want to do.

what's the pros and cons with the new bump stops?

Thanks Smiley, the bar that my harness is attached to is just a bit of metal i had lying about bolt to the original rear seat mounts, and the rear seat area is just 2 sheets of Ali panel painted satin black. I had it as 2 so I don't have to lift the whole lot up to get to the battery.

What it does is reduce travel at the rear when hard launching over bug ones, its just from what I read in books and what they used to do back in the day.

I am also running 26mm torsion bar and gas shocks so hopefully this combo will be a good compromise for street/strip.

I have only done 50miles on this new setup so can't really give any cons till I have done driven it a bit more and done some drag racing Smiley

Im sure some more experienced people on here will give you more of an insight into rear suspension setups.


Wow, great progress!
She looks new Wink
