From what i was told. The gold Sunday Factory that you posted is from a limited edition batch of Sundays, Ironhorse built up and sent out to all there team riders for this years worlds.Eren said:^^true that, haha but looky looky what i found, its amazing what you can find when you bored out of your mind, the new 07 factory iron horse, i believe.
tell me if this isnt the 07, though i thiiiink it is the factory 07 bike.
Not so! A very few made it out the factory, as I understand it possibly mainly to Europe??gmac said:I wrote: "actually produce it" because I know the 7.9 never made it out in 06...
I think the 07 has been change to 10mm screw on the eyelet. I have a 06 Sunday and I has been changed to 8 mm screw. It work and lock much better than the orginal screw. Looking forward to see the 07 bike in action!SpasticJack said:Please god tell me that the 07 Sunday hardware will retrofit. I love my Sunday but have had never ending trouble with the pins and reducers.
The whole 07 link kit will retrofit to an 05 or 06 Sunday. THey will be available from IH and include:SpasticJack said:Please god tell me that the 07 Sunday hardware will retrofit. I love my Sunday but have had never ending trouble with the pins and reducers.
No offence, and go ahead and flame me fellow ridemonkeys, but that is soooo lame pushing the issue onto fox and 5th.ska todd said:And to answer sernor freerider, there is no freebies on this link kit. The 05/06 links are fine and free of any defect. Any play issues lie not in the links or design but in the tolerance QC from shock vendors. Iron Horse has provided tighter tolerance hardware and "big bolts" for riders with 05/06 Sunday models.
Why is it Iron Horse's fault? They didn't build the hardware. I.H. can't control what another company builds.Cave Dweller said:No offence, and go ahead and flame me fellow ridemonkeys, but that is soooo lame pushing the issue onto fox and 5th.
The customer buys the bike from Ironhorse - not some 3rd level vendor.Salami said:Why is it Iron Horse's fault? They didn't build the hardware. I.H. can't control what another company builds.
The way I see it, they couldn't get anyone else to do it right so they had to build it themselves for 2007.
Come on mate, 2 years this has been a problem. Are you saying it takes 2 years to make sure that shock hardware is up to spec? Iron horse put together and spec the bike, the problem lies with IH imo.Salami said:Why is it Iron Horse's fault? They didn't build the hardware. I.H. can't control what another company builds.

Exactly what solved my problem on the sunday,mind you the local ironhorse dealer has made up custom pins which basically have the same effect.boozy1976 said:as dweller said:
the play issue comes from the pins which do NOT clamp the shockaxle.
this (if you do not have an accuracy of 0.01 in manufacturing) leads to play.
my mates v 10 had play as he tightened the shockbolts as SC described. he then really pounded teh wrench and the play was gone.
so i bought a bolt for my sunday claped it
and the play was gone
Prost
What are the benefits of the new links besides "solving" the pin problem?dw said:The whole 07 link kit will retrofit to an 05 or 06 Sunday. THey will be available from IH and include:
forged 7075 T6 curved upper links
forged 7075 T6 upper link crossbrace and hardware
forged 7075 T6 lower link which fits DHX/ ROCO
bolt-in main pivots
10MIL standard (10mm shock hardware with an automatic frame centering design)
Sunday Specific 10MIL lower hardware that pinches directly on the lower shock hardware
Iron Horse designed Enduro 6903 and 6902 MAX-E bearings with integrated bearing spacers for ease of assembly
I have no clue at all what the cost will be.
Hope this helps!

lighter, stronger, easier assembly, less parts, fits more shocks, looks cooler, uhmmm... yeah, thats it.RaID said:What are the benefits of the new links besides "solving" the pin problem?
how does it change the ride characteristics at all?
Are you talking about the DHR? I seem to remember the DHR having some similar hardware issues.Cave Dweller said:The issue, IMO, was the design and interface of the links. They should always of had curved links like on turners, not that little shuttle/stiffener they had.
OMG. That was funny.Tenacious Doug said:Not so! A very few made it out the factory, as I understand it possibly mainly to Europe??
Here is a pic of one I sold to a customer of mine.
