Got the front shocks on. Going with the blue and white springs for this season they'll get removed and powdered yellow and black chrome next winter.

The red ones motor burned up. Got a good deal on one of the beige ones to find out our shop isn't wired for 230 3 phase so had to buy another one that's set up for 208 3 phase. Keeping the other one because it was a steal and it's plumbed in as a piggy back tank to double capacity and filter water better.

All that air is used for work not just play. This is the back bay of our upholstery shop.

Buckeye, you do upholstery?

Could you do a seat?

Could do a solid black cover just normal marine grade vinyl or do you want a special texture or design? Like my seat has black and yellow carbon fiber vinyl on it. The embroidery would be extra and would be on you to center when you install the cover unless you're going to send your seat.

My graphics got delivered Saturday haven't gotten them yet from my office. Pics to come also ordered a used left front spindle. Got some wobble in my left front wheel at high speeds and the spindle where the hub slides on is bent. I'm also going to replace my steering stem bushing, anyone have opinion on the difference from a billet aluminum stem bushing and the bronze one SBLT sells?
