Boys, I’m back. Scored my unicorn today. I’ve wanted one of these for 15+ years. Finally the heavens smiled on me. 13k miles off the original owner. 99.9 flawless and I’m in love. Catch is extended myself to get it so it’ll only be in my life a short while most likely. Going to do a few things to it and it’ll get listed for sale. Going to just stare at it lovingly until then though. I love these damn bikes.

Kind of an update, I guess. The new Whiplash seat showed up and if fits like a glove, take a look at the pic of the fender bracket. BUT they used the wrong material on the rider seat section, it was supposed to be smooth vinyl and its gripper. I emailed Carlos and we'll see what happens. I can't seem to catch a break with this seat swap thing.
My impressions? I kinda don't give a **** anymore and wish I hadn't started this whole thing. Oddly enough (or maybe it's just in my mind) my Sadldlemen that I was complaining about is surprisingly comfortable this season, maybe I finally broke it in? While mounting the new seat I over torqued the seat screw and bent the attachment bracket upward. I have it bent most of the way back, but I'll have to fine tune another day. Whatever, here's some pics. It looks good, it felt good sitting on it, but I haven't ridden yet.

Yeah of course, I was just trying gjve some possible clarifying info specific to the Bitubos cartridge in longer than stock length application. No other cartridges do that (that I'm aware of). Others require longer tubes for the extended length.
In fact Snake Eyes was using longer Trackordie dampers and Gold valves previously

- Extended damper tubes give you height but no extra travel. As @multihdrdr mentioned, the Bitubos have a built in tube extension so they add travel and are SUPER easy to adjust rebound, preload, dampening and compression
- GoldEmulators work great, but you have to partially disassemble to do any adjustment
- Performance springs actually worked well, but without easy adjustment were a huge PITA to dial in. It was easier to just get rid of them
