Today when I got home from work I decided to make a second shock mount to make the suspension really adjustable for us heavy duty riders!Now I can set the rear height at 3 1/2" or 5" pretty cool!I weigh 280lbs and I can bounce up and down with plenty of clearence so id say anyone can roll this dude!I will post more pics after I mount the pedal ,peak the bottom of the frame and a few other things... 8) :mrgreen:

Cool! That's a great idea. You gotta post a video after you finish it.

Tonight I was able to make the deck
The diamond plate went out the window and I made my own...I started with some 1/8 aluminum and engine turned it with a wire cup brush,then threw on a 2" strip of grip tape on it !So what do ya think?I like how it came out I might put some pinch moulding around the edges so it doesnt slice any ankles!Tomorrow Ill finish the welding I have left to do and hopefully start some body work! 8) :mrgreen:
