I drove home the Circuit Rider today. After fixing the front and reinstalling the Pan Hard Bar and Shocks correctly ... it drives the way it should.

Re: The Circuit Rider is .... Home
Thanks - when I was 18 I hated that color. In my old age the color has grown on me.

The front steering was messed up and the Pan Hard Bar and shocks were not installed properly. WES could explain this much better than I but before it was corrected when driving about 45-55mph it felt really squirrely ... now it steers and handles great ... as well as a 70 C10 can drive.

I've never been a fun of pretty much anything green, but I absolutely love the Circuit Rider.
