Mid travel Questions

Oh snaps. Sorry. Got confused with another thread. Ditch the spindles and replace those with uca's. I would go tc.

 

x2 I would rather save up 1400 bucks and be happy floating on clouds.

 

Oooohhhhh, ur talking to bugs life, ok ill shut up now

 

Im confused

 

well Im still pretty young, but I got lucky and have my own contract manufacturing business and Ill be ready to get kings soon.

 

Way to rub it in

 

Whats the quality like? Cant be good for $500

 

They used to build the Old Donahoe Racing shocks before DR became Icon. So they are To Par with DR.

 

Ok ok Im sorry I dont know much about all the big name coilovers. What I do know is I called him and he confrimed they were only $500 plus shipping. He told me it was because they overstocked them

 

I like to refer to it as DR, because I run DR shocks.

 

don't you have to rebuild the icons every so often (2 years is stuck in my head for some reason). is it the same case with these?

 

so what do you gues, 5 years ? when i wheel i make it count...i just don't get out nearly as often as i would like

 

F dude.... why did i have to look in this thread.... thats a damn steal. i want them...... but i dont have $500 on had right now. Do they have a lot of overstock? basically, do you think theyd have them in 2 weeks still?

 

i hate you.... and my wife is about to hate me..... which i will be sure to pass on her hate to you as well.

 

Im about ready to trade my bike for c/o

 

Icon will service any DR products. So send them off to ICON. Back in the days Craig said that the DR shocks doesn't need any rebuilding no matter how hard you romp them.

Well the Leepers shocks are based off the old DR. The newer Icon are probably different internally. Maybe updated internals. Different brand of shock oil.

Does yours have a fitting to recharge Nirtogen? (my DR doesn't)

Edit: I'm pretty sure as time went by Icon Improved their shocks, Leepers obviously wouldn't have the blueprints or the same technology as Icon. Leeper doesn't have the ext. travel version or a Remote resi.

 

Icon Filed the lawsuit because They bought out DR, and since Leeper was Making shocks for DR using DR's schematics, Those schematics, designs, and plans, are now property of Icon (or copyrights of Icon). Leeper wouldn't give those shocks up because DR owed them money for it. And since Icon took over, Leeper believed that they should hold the responsibility to pay up for them. Icon tried to settle the difference but Low balled Leeper for the shocks. Leeper rejected the offer.

 

Money, Less competition. Fatter Paychecks.

 

And I bought icons last month

 

Did you get the EXT travel version and with the Resi? If you didn't you can still send them in for it. So its not that bad.
