    Hard to get the pix to show the color the way it really is in person but this one is close. I love it, very deep / rich.

    ...just so you know, it's "balling" or "baaaalling."

    Those look great, but would look even better without the advertising that covers up those beautiful red legs, but you gotta pay the piper. Are you going to get one ride on them in GP before it closes for the season? By the way, that is one bad @$$ little machine!

    Great looking forks Kel.:thumbsup:

    You must do a report once things get broken in a bit.

    Have they got some kind of coating on the red anodizing...I know red is the worst for fading.

    Will post a full report soon but it is amazing. The forks are awesome Seem stiff as in the bike does not wallow at all yet picks up trail trash very well. Compliant yet controlled is how i would describe it. This is the only set of forks i have ever rode that is both trail plush and SX controlled. I did not think you could do that and had to choose one or the other. I LOVE the forks. BTW he said he completely redid the forks and they are much more like a KYB setup than what they were. He said he was not impressed with the stock zoke internals even though they were working good.

    As for the shock I was not as pleased with it. It does work very good but was outshined by the forks (thats a first for me). After talking with him this morning he is sure I have way to much preload and need to set my sag. I told him it deflected a little and and seemed almost stiffer than stock. He said the valving was 25% softer and is sure he dialed in to much preload. Sounds right.

    As it is right now i love it. Adjusting the shock will be the icing on the cake. It is super controlled. I can charge into whoop fields and root wads with reckless abandon and it goes straight through, no drama no harshness. the control is off the map. This is would be the ultimate race setup, compliant yet controlled. I was blasting through stuff and laughing about it.

    Also hit some big waterbars on a skid road and got some semi big air, it lands awesome, no bounce, no drama, hits the ground and stay there. This would be a great MX suspension. the versatility is crazy. Part of it he tells me is due to the special progressive fork springs.

    Love it.
