WAS GOING TO GO TWENTY , NOW why not??? not enough light ??

No the 20 was fine D. Just after the 41.5....What do they say? It's hard to go back.

The "Tower-O-Power" is coming together. I hate fiberglass and Bondo...

Little winter-windshield fabrication in-progress...

Forgot....Done with windshield...

Now on to the foam cab.....

Got the first set of proto-type Teryx shocks today from banditutvsuspension.com. Adjustable compression and rebound with progressive-rate springs. Lift built-in. I've been working with the owner for several months and now the testing begins.

Well bring that machine up to Trails End this weekend and we can test it out. You drive and I'll drink....

How much lift? Looking forward to your feedback on these.

No lift. I tried to talk Ted into making them 2-inches longer than stock but he just wouldn't bite.Said we would re-visit that later. But... these shocks are a game-changer. Period. No more tooth rattling drive-line chatter, especially down-hilling or over small studder bumps..My wife might actually ride with me now without a steel-reinforced sports-bra.....It's now the machine I knew it could be without Long-travel. The Foxes are a poor attempt between utility and sport. Kawasaki missed the mark big-time with them. Valve and spring them however you want, won't change a thing. The bodies are too long.

what are they gonna cost is the question?

$1049.00 a set Craig. They are sold out already tho.

That's right!!..

Static-flex test....16-inches with no tire off the ground. Decent considering the stock Foxes won't do but 9.

The right-rear still has about 2-inches left before bottoming.

So what are your thoughts about these after a couple of weeks? Worth it?

Greg, Absolutely a YES!!!!!! It's a totally different machine. All that driveline chatter has been muted tremendously. Why? Because it now has shocks that actually work! Not sure what Kawasaki was thinking on the design of the Foxes.

A real top I can stand-on...Axiom.

powder coat it ?

It's a tester from Axiom for fit Craig. My neighbor does wraps. He's trying to match the factory paint right now. When he does it will be Candy-Lime Green!

Thanks for the feedback Jim, guess I will order a set when they are back in stock.

Safety first!

I love all ya'lls overhead builds. But for me. I wanted something I can remove in 5 mins. or less. Some Cross-Country Rally-Raid Racing is in my not too distant future. You don't race with speakers on-board.... It does rock-out tho!
