It’s time to up-grade your stock shock. These are from an RC51, top and a ZX9 that is going on a ZX12. Rebuilt, re-valved and re-sprung. And yes, they are resting on top of a 2 foot by 3 foot stone table. The proper tool for making sure things are straight.

I worked at my local polling station for this Primary Election. I’ll be back for the General Election in November.
