    Got some pretty parts in the mail.. ;D Monoshock came in from Racetech. I couldnt be happier with it! I havent ridden on it obviously but it sure does look the part until then.. They weren't sure if they could put ride height adjustability on it because of how short it is, but they made it...

    The white plastic is called Delrin and thats a good idea. Im planning on doing the same just for safety sake.. I would hate for the chain to munch into fresh powder coat :-X

    Yes, but Partzilla had free shipping on my order and their prices are very reasonable. I live in LA so I get in the car and drive as little as I can :P

    Really cool project. The suspension geometry up front looks like its going to probably be a hairball to steer.. ??? Another thing to watch (im dealing with it on my build) is the chain clearance at the swingarm keep up the good work

    I got the monoshock mounting points done and tacked up. Now I just have to take it to RaceTech and hopefully they say the geometry will work!
