Nice work, brother! Good write-up. It may be long, but it's not long-winded. It takes a bit of space to get to the level of detail and clarity you did.

As a prospective consumer, this really helps me know what I'd be getting, and how it would benefit me. I'm already sold on the product eventually, but I will be showing this to my Brother. Since nobody around here has one, this would be helpful to at least illustrate the probable benefit. Maybe we can do these on the buddy system... install two back to back over the winter break. Guess we'll see...

As a new owner, I'll refer back, and, hopefully, shorten the learning curve to be getting the best benefit from the gate.

Very well written and yes it is the best product I have ever installed on my bike. I've had mine for over 3 years almost 4, and it has proven itself. I loved the bike before and love it more since then, you do have a point about the handling, feels more solid

Hats off to you my friend! AWESOME write-up and details. Your breakdown of the workings was very simplistic and easy to comprehend.

I really enjoyed the read! Thanks for adding some knowledge!

Awesome write-up!! I plan on getting the SS sometime, but this has renewed my goal to get one. All a matter of $$$.
