    Installed (ignore the hair..dog problems)

    C14EF6FE-0217-4C93-AEA8-27B206944438.jpg

    For those wondering, the old bolts are 14mm and the new ones in the kit are 17mm. Took less than 5 minutes from me gathering the tools to putting them away in the toolbox.

    Initial thoughts; more comfortable for sure. Only sat in the seat and didn't drive it yet, but I can already tell I'll be grabbing a set for the shotgun rider..aka wife.

    12/10 would HIGHLY recommend.

    GET THESE NOW!

    You don’t think it’s enough of a lift to take away from the support at your thighs/knees do you?

    This past weekend was Caitlyn's 6th birthday. When I say I don't drive the thing, I really mean I barely drive it except for the weekends.

    Rolled 30k after 6 years:

    66B1E0A8-EC2B-42AB-9578-101B0A0034FB.jpg

    Wife is going to a baby shower on Saturday and I'm hoping I can do a few things:

    - Flowmaster 50 series Delta muffler install at a local shop

    - front Dakar bushings

    - install new superbump mounts from Wheeler's. I think I notched the old ones too much on the one side and would have to notch the other side to get them to sit better, but that would risk potentially ripping them off on the trail due to being so narrow. I could possibly used the All-Poo plates, but I believe the Wheeler's u-bolt kit is narrower as the old superbump mount plates that sat flush on the All-Poo kit now do not.

    Got the new mount plates delivered yesterday:

    AC4C0AF4-13D4-452F-8511-9C23A11AFA85.jpg

    The design of the new ones compared to my old ones (easily 5 years old) are completely different. They are tapered towards the ends and no longer flare upwards at each end. They are also shorter; at least it seems so without having the old ones next to them for comparison. These should work perfectly with the Wheeler's u-bolt flip kit and I should be able to put this issue to rest, finally.
