    shocks have vastly different valving then stabilizers - I suppose you could test yours and if they go in and out equally, it'd be worth a chance trying it. The stabilizers have about 10" of travel.

      They do seem to be equally valved. I briefly tried to find an application for them and failed. Granted I didn't spend hours trying, but given where they came from its very possible they ARE stabilizers and not shocks.

      Anyways.

      This shot is very very cool. All that work came together seemlessly from looking at this photo. Congrats.



      Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

        So I'm going with 1 stabilizer, if I need two the second will be stacked on top

            I was waiting for paint to dry and complained - until I met a boy with no paint. Or something like that.......

                    With Bob the answer is "Yes".

                    He has a button that sends the message "I've fallen and I don't wanna get up." Am I close, Bob?

                        then just march out that door without your pants - that'll learn her! Fortunately we'll be safe since it'll be dark.

                              Sounds like me..
                              I want so much done on one day, then this much the next.. Then I crash for 3-4.

                                Reminder - I was waiting for paint to dry

                                strangely it turned black after install

                                also, should I decide I need a dual stabilizer system, this is how it will look

                                finished, for now


                                I hate lubing these, but I hate buying new ones even more


                                hooks installed


                                monkey reinstalled, I like how they notched the antenna to keep it from coming apart... chinese quality - who knew?


                                airbox




                                I also finalized the mount for the HAM radio....
