well when you get them could you post pics? Also a review would be nice if you get a chance to test them. I already seen the one post, I'm just curious what others think.

I have the conversion, pics are already posted, right after the 12 hours of america I took photos and sent them to Colby, he posted the pics.
I raced a full season (XC) and the 12 hours of America, as well as Little Sahara, practice and play,,,, ZERO problems, I sent them back to Colby just to see how well they held up and all he did was a fluid change.
I am very happy with this kit, it has helped me to a 6 place finish for the season and a 13th. A Class finish in the 12 Hours.
You of course will have to have them set to your riding preference, but I am very pleased, I hope this helps,,, Z

this is the only pic i have right now, it drops the bike about 2 or 3 inches.

i had them revalved for aggressive recreational. i ride more xc type stuff, but they do ok in MX. they need diffrent springs for MX.

Yes they can set them up for + 2 a-arms.I just sent mine out Friday to get done and they are going to set my rear shock up for a +1 1/4" swingarm.They will give you a list of questions regarding your equipment and they set your shocks up for that particular set-up.

Yes we can set the shocks up for just about anything within reason. IE ( 500lbs freestle) :D . but other than that it is doable

I think im going to get some +2 or +3 a-arms, and this setup looks great for my budget... :cool:

Do we choose spring colors?:confused:

C&D racing did my shocks and they work great. I've only ridden trails and went off a few small jumps (3ft), but the shocks worked well and I was able to make adjustments. The bike is definitely lower and handles so much better. I ride the trails at Appalachia Bay outside of Tulsa and I didn't have any issue with clearance.

In my opinion, the shock rebuild was well worth it.
