That's wicked nice. I am doing the same flames on my truck this fall once the sheet metal is all done. That looks great!

That's a pretty stealthy looking Foes. You just need to put some soft all black rubber on there and it will be nearly invisible at dusk. :cool:

Here's my Trail/FR/DH bike.

2002 Cheeta Prowler with 2002 WB DH2 fork and assorted bits of used parts.

Most of the parts on the bike were acquired from fellow Monkeys! :D

Hey Punkassean!

That's a sweet Stinky! How do you like the Swinger and Sherman combo? i've considered putting a 5th Element or Swinger my on Stinky. Currently have a Fox RC with their Big Hit Valving upgrade and it's a nice ride.

yeah dude, it's rad...I have spent a while "tuning" the fork and shock but now I think I have found a happy medium between "platform" and "plushness". I ended up with a 500# spring and just over the min. air pressure in the SPV chamber with the chamber dialed in only about 1.5 turns max. I think I have the the high speed compression about half way in (closed), it has a check-valve so it will open up no matter what on a hard hit. And I run the low speed all the way out (open) for small bump sensitivity. As far as the fork, I also run low pressure (just enough to prevent bottoming) and about 1 or less turns in on the chamber. Set up this way, I don't really have a noticeable "platform" but the overall suspension feel is really nice, plush and active. I am thinking of dropping to a 450# spring for the rear shock (I weigh 148#) and running more air pressure in the SPV chamber to get a platform feel and a more progressive (due to more air pressure) rate. I promised you a wrap up once I was done...well that's about where I sit... it took me long enough!!!
