DLC does look great. Think it's the cost, that's why you don't see many doing it. But $525 is a good price. It's a performance mod so to me it's worth it. Are you going the shorter fork tubes to get it lower?

Right now I have 2 under tubes with a 2 inch drop kit with gold valves in it and I have about 4 inches or so of travel. I want to get it lower but I don't know if I could do 4 under tubes. I researched it and didn't find any one running 4 under tubes so I don't know if it can be done. I'm nervous do get 4 under tubes get the dlc done and have a 3 degree rake on it and have it not work out. Have you seen anyone do 4 under tubes or know if it's ever possible to run that set up?

That looks sick! Was it worth it in your opinion? I checked out the website; its double what the SS goes for...

WOW that looks awesome. How did you like it? Was it worth the money to you? I really like how you did the compressor, came out really clean. Did you have to fab up a bracket for it or did they make you one?

I made a bracket that sat inside the down tubes. I really liked the ride but the trail was so screwed up it rode like a train. Couldn't turn around on a country road. It was 7 degree rake in the trees which is not too bad with triple trees on a stock rake but with the rockers carrying the axle out so far the front end was side heavy. the air ride was pretty darn nice though. I'm going to carry it back up to Arnie when I get home in september so he can redo the trees. I bought it used so less than half the cost of new.I had Tricky go thru it before I ran it.
Yeah that's on the bottom end of it Ink. I have a pic of my bike with-4 tubes on it I'll try to find and post. I think 2D runs -4 on his Train if I'm not mistaken also. The ride with -4 kind of sucked also on the stock trees. If you run 4's on HHI trees it comes out -3 with 3*rake in case you want to know.Did a guys bike with that combination and 23" up front that rode pretty good. My feeling is you need air in the back to get the bike down when it sits unless you like riding on the rubber.

Yeah G I forgot about 2D's setup, and now I remember that old if of yours too. Wow you get 3" drop from 3 degree trees on a train?

If that's the case -2 with the HHI 3 degree trees and 23" wheel would be a perfect setup I reckon Steven
