    What was the ride like after the changes. Looks beautiful. How long did it take and what was the cost of the mods.

    How does the Spyder handle with your new suspension?

    Thanks for sharing and taking all the pictures. Is it back together yet? How does the new ride feel?

    they are penske shocks,
    the ride and handling is unbelievably better, rear is a little too stiff so I will need to adjust it. cost is 2200.00

    I was going to keep this quiet until it happens but I thought I would give you guys an early heads up,

    I have a very good friend that works at Belltech's R & D
    he took my stock shocks and sway bar and is going to see if they can make an aftermarket ones for us. for those that don't know who Belltech is, they have a very big suspension company,

    my friend also has a contact with Hawk brake pads to see if they would want to make an aftermarket pad, also have a contact with Bear Brakes to see if they will make an aftermarket caliper.
    Best thing is my bike gets to be the test bike for these companies.
    when the Belltech shocks and sway bar are finished I will be selling my PENSKE shocks and sway bar for a very good price.

    Do you think the Penske shocks are better with the sway bar?

    I put them on at the same time so I don't know how it would have handled without the swaybar.
