Wow! At least you got good miles out of it.

That is not bent.... That is a banna sleeve.

How many "Dukes of Hazard" landings does it take to customize that part?

No kiddin, the spyder jumps great, it just lands like a sack of potatos. Do the elkas help that?

New bolt, tensile strength 8 (cost $1.10)
Old (BRP) bolt, tensile strength 5, bent.
Old Elka lower shaft 115mm spacer for Spyder 990, bent. The new one overnighted from Elka Suspension Canada (thank you).

Doc,
You haven't let Forrest borrow your spyder to practice for the "Ditch Jumping Contest" at LaMonster's BBQ this year? I hear they are going to award prizes.

All I can say, Doc, is, how do you do it?

[SPYDERPOPS]

It was me, I confess! I made at least 10 passes at full throtle in Chicago loving the turbo every second. The bike couldn't take the 300 lbs. of southern pure beef.

Don't worry Doc, the replacement part Elka is sending you should take care of this problem. This one has a special designation. It has a DOC part number!
