I am going to loosen my upper/lower caps on my stock shafts hopefully tonight and see if I can get more range of motion. Right now I have my frame on all 4 wheels and cant get it to hardly budge on the front end, so installing the upper bump stops is impossible, with no weight on the front.
Truth.... The narrowed set-up that works w/my front suspension is $1g. But, it is what it is. Not about add $300 in parts to arms I can't use on this project. The rubber bushings in the current arms have no road miles & have been stored inside. I was only going to swap as an upgrade & don't need upgraded parts sitting on a shelf.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Smart move Scoti, I have bought a few duplicate parts in that I purchased the OE, then the upgrade version. It can nickle and dime you to death.
