    It’s certainly a nice little confirmation that all the hard work is worth it. Not just me thinking my little yota works pretty good.

    And there’s a chance someone that saw it might get me an interview for a job finally. Local guy saw it and pm’d me about it. Started chatting, learned he works for an engineering place down the road from my house. Put in a good word and got my resume to the higher ups. Should be getting a call next week one way or another but hopefully it can get my foot in the door with them even if it’s in their manufacturing dept and not engineering.

    Going on 6 months of job hunting so don’t tempt me lol. But if my wife and I didn’t absolutely love our house and life up here I’d be starting to consider heading to the valley. Need anyone remote haha?

    Can’t hurt to mention it and I appreciate it. Starting to get desperate. Hoping this thing comes to something up here. Also have 2 applications at the city under “additional review”

    True. I was already most of the way there when I redid the rear. Only about $500 and most of it was the anti-wrap bar kit

    Yeah, unfortunately I am pretty sure everything will have to go with my current setup. The only component I thought about working with in the meantime is the 14" triples I have.

    Given shock lead times are 6 months to a year depending what you want. I’d keep them for a bit lol.
