Thanks alot! They look great. Hopefully I get them on this week for practice on friday.
Thanks again!

[Pappy]

I will make sure you get them on or before thursday(im thinking you will get them on wednesday)

[Pappy]

good news and not so good news


the ball joints will not come apart, i assume this si the same issue you ran into. we did not want to go hog wild on them knowing if they were damaged the boy couldnt ride this weekend.


they will be there wednesday, if you must replace these you can have gibson overnight new king pins and hardware and reassemble, if not these will last him awhile longer.

Yes, I did have an issue with them...I got the top clips out and the ball joints were loose....Just send the new joints back and I'll go on and replace the tops..The new ones had the "good" clips with them..The old ones were tricky to get out but I'll decide what to do when we get them back....Thanks

PS: Don't forget to put the bill in the box too....

[Pappy]

no bill, these are on me.

again, i wish we could have done more for you guys, i hate not being able to get something done for someone

[Dupontster]

Thanks! I got them today. They look great! Them king pins were a pain. We got them all back together.

AWESOME! GOOD LUCK AT BUDDS!

[Dupontster]

Hey Pap...Old man Dup here.....Awesome job man...They really turned out good....The king pins were a ****** but we got em....Everything went back together with grease and never sieze...Decided not to go to Budds this weekend...Going to be a big bunch of 2 wheelers there and it's going to be very rutty...Budds doesn't care about quads....We're going to Birch Creek for an all day practice session on Saturday....I want to get the new front end dialed in and we figured we'd get more track time at Brich Creek....Little farther to drive but we're just going to make a 2 day thing out of it....Thanks again man...I want to help out with the food at Rausch Creek this year if it comes together...

[Pappy]

I dont think we are hitting Rausch this year, all the events will be held at www.breezewoodprovinggrounds.com

In any event, I am glad you got them all together and ready to rock!
