    Looks like I wont be able to bring my 480 this year, things have been so crazy with work family and the farm, and it still needs so much to be done and done right. Actually at this rate I'll be happy if I can just make it to TF this year Probably will make it just in time for the MX races, have to see. Anyways, next year I'll have a nice conversion. Nice work guys, bikes look awesome

    Sent them to the suspension place. They resprang them and serviced them and sent them back. They sat in my living room for about a month then finally I got it together and spent one day of trail riding on them and by the end of the day the fluid was squirting out the bottom of the forks.

    Sent them back to the suspension place that did them about 3 weeks ago. The owner claims that someone tried to take them appart since they had worked on them, the lower forks caps were loose.

    I called BS.

    He said that they get tightened with a impact gun so they couldn't have just "came loose"

    I called BS again. Said something like that should be torqued with a torque wrench not an impact gun. Insisted that I was too scared to take them apart thats why I sent them to him in the first place. Demanded he fix them and ship them back to me free of charge.

    He finally gave in and they were supposedly shipped out back to me last tuesday/wednesday.

    Here's hoping they actually make it back to me in time.

    Other than the leak by the end of the day they road pretty nice. I really hadn't had a chance to dial in the clickers yet though.

    Ahh, yes there Is a copper washer that seals the lower cap. It Is hard to tighten them with a ratchet or anything other than a Impact, because the Inner tube spin's unless they are spun fast. Well hope you get them back In time.

    I'm running a 400EX thumb throttle and a YFZ450 cable on mine with no problems, if that helps.
