Now I see 'em - the upper bars - not sure how I missed 'em the first time around... maybe I was too busy trying to find what was handling the side loads...

Don't know if you guys noticed, but I love the full adjustability of the front suspension so you can get the geometry "just right". Love the adjustable tie rod and idler arm height. No bump steer issues here.

Every piece is adjustable and the coil springs have hidden adjusters up inside the spring pockets to adjust ride height as well. A couple little tweaks and everything should work pretty good.

A small update. I managed to get some steering in it this weekend.



The removeable steering wheel really helps getting in and out and I can remove it to make it less appealing to steal when I go to get my groceries.

Who makes the steering linkage parts like the crossbar and the piece that bolts to the frame?
