It's all air now!

Well, sort of. I can't put air in it for 48 hours according to the profesional grade thread sealer I used on it. But I got the rear bags in and did a lot less than I thought I was going to do.

After looking at it, it was going to be too low in the back with just the bag. I had a set of cups that came with the box 'o crap I got on ebay, so I decided to use them for now. I didn't notch the frame because I have like 2" when fully aired out befor I hit. With the cups and Slam Specialties bags, the rear is 5 1/2" from frame to trailing arm at 0 air. Here she is stock:



and flat:


Phase 2 will be a pair of Viair 380's, cut front cups, notched frame, straight bags in the rear, and tubular A-arms for the uppers. For now I just need to get it back on the road by the end of the year and I've gone way over budget for this year.
