Ow, forgot to mention the secound set of shocks arrived. Im iching to try them on my Raptor. There so easy to swap out and from the dyno charts (yes they come with dyno charts) it looks like there gona be easy on my back cause there progressive, not spring progressive but anything under 3 inches of the shock travle is like your floating on air hence (floats) then they progress on the hard hits (25ft drop offs). Its gona be so easy to pull the rear shock of the street ray and place it on my quad. Thats also gona be a benifit on the drivability of the streetray. when driving normaly its gona ride very soft and smooth but if you hit a pothole there gona soak it up withought rattling your teeth. Still thinking of and offroad version, If they get nearly 12 inches of travle on a quad expect the same in an offroad settup for the trike. Im talking rally car speed. Its a wounder why you still have leef springs, wernt they invented for horse pulled wagons? Man, and they have been used for this long with the tech available.

Well, its rolling and the steering rack is hooked up. I need to do the bearings in the rear hub but as it sits I can push it across the garage with little to no effort.

Put it this way, this thing rolls so easy. Also, you can ask your buddy to hold up the car while to change the tire if it ever weres out or goes flat. Another fact of the matter im using full size car breaks (miata) so in that case your probly never going to need to change the pads out.

I just pulled the colum off of my parts miata. Its going to work just fine, Ive already got an idea on how to mount it so it slides to the center to get it out of your way to enter and exit easy.
