The new height seems to have more lean now on the kickstand. May need to look into an extended kickstand next

Just to add a couple pics to my previous post of the new shocks

It is one that was made to fit the Fat bob bib location, which happens to have the same dimensions as the bib on the Switchback.

Yeah ya did! It happens. I had to Helicoil one of mine after a wreck sheared off one of the bolts (and bent the perch beyond repair).

A little time with a good drill and a screw extractor should have you good as new in no time.

Polished up the front rim on the WG. Didn’t realize it was that dull. Gonna start on the rear.

Done. Only took a little over an hour to do both. Worth the effort.
