Please tell what this is! I'm addicted to farkles and might need this one too!

They're a set of brackets that will relocate the top mounting position of the front shocks, to one that is more upright. Len will have them available during SpyderFest at his shop in Springfield, MO (PitBull PowerSports)

Mine were installed this week. Can't wait to try then out when I pick up the purple lady on Saturday

 

[Bob Denman]

Even with everything else that you're doing... We'd still like a report!

Are shock relocaters are almost complete, we are test fitting the last 5 spyders this weekend with all of the MOGANG, once we are done and all is good! they will be ready and available at spyderfest first and then to ship out the world!! We want to personally install them on as many spyders as possible during the event and then we will be ready to ship them out!:thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

You'll have mine there for installation on Wednesday the 24th... :thumbup: THANKS!

I wonder how long the line will be, I hate waiting in line...

I'll get there EARLY... and bring my own coffee! I'd rather wait two hours at the front of a line; than an hour in the middle of it! :gaah:

I can put them on myself, as long as I can get my hands on a set.

My appointment is Wednesday of Spyderfest at 10:00 for Elkas and adaptors!! Bob, call and get an appointment.

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: I thought that it was strictly "first come; first served" I'll call... THANKS! :thumbup:

Love, love them. What a difference so much smoother

 

[Bob Denman]

:2thumbs: Did they soften up your preload when they were installed? :chat:

 

[burg650]

What's the real purpose of these?

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm no expert.. but here's my monkeyed-up take on these... By standing the shocks more upright; they'll be less influenced by the preload settings; you should be able to run a softer preload (and softer ride!), while not getting that sensation of the bike leaning over onto it's handlebar end caps in the turns... BUT :shocked:... I'd sure love to hear a better explanation! :thumbup:

If that explanation is accurate, I'll be purchasing.

I have the Elkas and Ron's sway bar. RT seems to be riding perfect so don't know that I would need these. :dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

I've got the same configuration under the front of mine. :thumbup: I'm hoping that they'll allow for a bit less preload, without re-introducing all of the "leaning"...
