Nice to-do list there Gaetano. What kind of rear shocks are you going with?

Thanks Corey. I put a call into Ron Sutton for the task. I felt I needed the shocks because I thought the ones I were using were bottoming out and making me loose at entry. After Ron called Vince for some measurements and info turns out I wasn't bottoming the outside shock out, I was over extending the inside shock and picking up the inside rear wheel. Ron has a call into Penske right now and the plan is to go with the Penske 7500DA's last we talked.

Thanks Ronny. I agree. Nothing better than having a suspension guru 5 minutes from home.

Hey, so one thing I forgot to mention.......Joe Pecavar stopped by Vinces to check the tune on my motor and found two broken rocker studs.

Looking good GAE. Lucky you having the Ron man in the neighborhood. Those Penskes should make a big difference out back.

Do you have traditional shackles on the rear of your leafs or sliders? I don't know if I've ever seen your set up.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

HD shackles....poly bushed now. We will see if we can move him into a link set up.

Cell work this morning. I have 3 cars going together so im jumping around a bit.

Sending unit added. Nice clean set up.

Side bars will go in later.

Thanks Rob. I've considered sliders many times but never pulled the trigger. Like Vince says, shackles, pollies, and the Fays II Watts is what I have been getting by on.

Amen on the Penske's.....I couldn't believe the improvement and tune-ability when I installed a 3-way on my Ducati. Besides they're real purdy.

Sliders!



Embarrassingly enough I have never seen those! I've been planning on Global West or Hotchkis bushings on my GW L2 springs. Is the end performance result of the slider considering the price difference comparable.......for a pro-tinkerer on a tight budget?
