Still worth a pair of works to me, rather than not enjoy the times I did get out to ride. If he's here asking questions about shocks, it's clear he's unhappy with his current setup.
Just another situation...say you were pulled over for speeding or whatever and your frame is covered in mud. Are they allowed to wipe the mud off and look for it because it isn't visible? My answer would be get your fat sausages off my quad. What have you guys?
I can make a plate, stamp on whatever numbers I want, and pop rivit it to the frame. Who's to say I'm not full of shit for doing that? Looks shady if you ask me.
