so please refresh my memory
did you still go with the Drag Shock? I seem to recall there was not as much difference to a "regular shock" as I originally thought
Looks fabulous. I always wanted Penske's on the rex. But they did not make them. The rep did offer to make me a set of one off customs because he liked the bike too But the price was just out of sight
A suspension up grade is definitely in my future plans for the Busa

yes this is in the other thread . Its commonly referred as a drag shock due to size , but can be built for any application .

Hi c10. DME has Ti springs and Ti drive chains. The Ti chains do not work for drag racing hit at the start is to hard. I think for street and LSR they will work OK. I will run the Ti chain with my 6 inch over set up for LSR,

Aren’t you a light weight like Bryan?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the both of them together weigh less than me....

I think Steven told me he was 150 pounds , and i'm 142 to 144 training dependent .

 

[c10]

Even good mechanics make mistakes.
Installed shock backwards or 180 out lol
I had to take it all apart after torqued.
This photo shows I located compression adjuster to front.

Yes I am 150, trying to get back down to the 140 mark again but as I age it seems more and more difficult.

 

[c10]

Age ? arent you a young buck in the 30's ?

 

[Mr Brown]

Then yeah, we are around the same. SMH.

 

[Mr Brown]

So boys and girls, today we learned that a titanium addiction is more beneficial if you're a light rider yourself....

Oh, but wait. You have a gen1, so the factory spring in yours is softer than a gen2 already. I was just trying to find an excuse for you, so you could get the blue spring. Lol

31, lol I am still young but also not young anymore. 30 was like a milestone for me, I weighed 140 since 18 and never gained an oz. 30 hit and here I am now pushing over 150 mark.
