Exactly. Had a lot of folks were telling me to cut it since its paid for. If I cut it and don't like it I'm stuck. Had to keep my options open. The guy you see in the pictures was the one that told me about American Suspension Bolt On Kit. I will give a review on the ride and pictures once everything is done.

Very cool project K. Cant wait to see the finished product, and your review after riding. Super smart move trying the bolt on kit first, before cutting the frame. And yeah, we have been lucky in MD with the cold, so far, but its comin!!!

Thanks! Once its done I will take it out on I-70 and ride it out to Hagerstown and back. That should be plenty distance to write up a report on how it handles with the Bolt On neck.
