actually i found the f&f coils on ebay for about 200 bucks below retail. even the guys at N1 couldnt beat that price. otherwise i would have got the type two coils.

Are you going to have the shocks re-valved? I don't think those dampers can take that much abuse. Some Swift Springs would be nice too.

you mean the X in the rear? im going to be welding in a brace between the rear fenders so its a complete box with an X in the middle of it. imo, that is the best design for lateral rigidity.
