Thank you for the kind words and my thanks to you for yours.
The Dragon is beautiful place, hoping to get back there later this summer to see more of it.

Slpstrm, How high did your set-up raise the bike? The reason I want an 18 4 O/S is to slam the bike as far as it will go but still make it over a speed bump. (And still be able to turn a corner) LMAO. Gonna have to do alot of calculas to get it right but then AME has already done that (I hope!!).
I'm in south GA, (Valdosta) and want to take the finished result to Panama City Beach for Thunder Beach Fall Fest.

They have a bunch of nice rides listed on the website.
I love my kit.
I think some of the 18 degree kits look a little hinky, but some look good, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
