Gee, I thought others might have mentioned the subject. I am really sorry to give the sermon but you are correct, I should not so I will do just that. What do I know anyhow? Again my apologies making you read my senseless drivel.

For the record the ricor product does not require damper rod modification so your post is drivel.

This is about getting the ricor product working better.

Fabrik8r has graciously agreed to do an intiminator mod for me, along with some other help relating to his Forced Convection Cooling System. I think that there is not enough praise we can pour on this guy; not many people are generous enough to spend their time (and money) for the betterment of his fellow "club" members. Even though I know he's doing what he enjoys, and he certainly gets a great sense of accomplishment from all this, it's got to cause at least some friction at home, and certainly takes away from his family time. A big thanks to Jason, and good luck with his ventures! He inspires me!

tryus, your sentiment is far too kind, but thank you just the same.

The springs were back ordered which I wasn't told when I placed the order. They showed up Monday but I'm in Oklahoma going to a Army school. I'll get them done on the 9th of June and post up my thoughts. I honestly hope I can drop them in and have a great improvement and not have to do anything else.

Looking forward to the update.

I've been reading a ton on this stuff as I'm ready to order my rear shocks which I have made up my mind to get ohlins from Howard..but I highly doubt I'll be able to step up to a nice $2500 front end from him, so I'll have to compromise and this peaks my interest.

I was going to order shocks from him but he didn't respond to emails. I prefer to use email and in my opinion it's a valid business contact. I got works 12.6 steel trackers. I'm happy with the shocks and they responded to Inquiries. I can't wait to get home and get it back together.

ryderbiker,I answer all e-Mails unless I am too busy building the suspension for those who already paid me. I give priority to those who already paid me first than when those jobs are completed, I answer other e-Mails and take on other work. You might have checked your spam filter or called to confirm why you haven't received an e-Mail. I work from 6am ~ 10:30pm everyday, 7 days a week including all holidays. I always answer my phone during those hours. Good luck with your purchase as I am sure it worked out for the best for you.
