Cheers :smoke: nah no missing links here, I know a lot of people say its ok but I don't want any uncontrolled droop. I feel it will be more predictable and stable without missing links.

It should still get some pretty darn good flex though :smoke:

you may find you will have the same flex anyway due to the springs being inborad more than on a smmie 8-)

slowly getting there on the front suspension, just need to tack it all up, test fit the front axle and cycle the suspension to check all the shackle angles, clearances etc.

These are the front mounts, they will be boxed in and welded on once finished.

Thats a bit boy racer for me :lol: I'm going to slowly swap out the gauges for some more expensive/accurate ones that have black faces, I fancy some nice Autometer ones :mrgreen: these ones are so bright that i'm going to wire in a switch to turn the lights off a night so I can see the road better :lol:
