So while waiting for the new bracket from Topdown Products I raised my suspension again to prevent the wheel slapping the fender.
Of the bike there is a bit of a gap, but riding is sooo much better, not having to worry about smacked in the back side at very dent in the road.
Top Down Products is progressing with the bracket, so hopefully with in the next few weeks (5 incl shipping) I fiannly may have the Shotguns installed....

Bike Detailing
Spend Saturday most of the day cleaning the bike, very needed as I had not been able to do so since mid Dec (ohoh!).
Found lost of little specs of rust and chrome flaking of (mostly on the aftermarket stuff). Very frustrating to see all this "damage"
Serioulsy considering building an airconditioned shed now.
mood: a bit sad

Protective eye wear
So, recently (well actually last summer) got myself a pair of these:
The are Wraptors (duh) made by Gatorz (http://www.gatorz.com/). I am properly impressed with these. Because they are thin, they easily slide under a helmet, they are close fitting, so no wind blows across my eyes. I used to get gritty eyes from wind in the eys, but that is no more!
As I need glasses for reading, I am going to try and get these in corrective lenses...
Wish me luck!

AArrgjhh!
So Hell Bent Kustoms got my money and is refusing to stand behind their product and services. They even accuse me of not providing all the information and that it is my fault that they mis manufactured the bracket.
They offered me a stainless steel replacement but even polished that woulld stick out against the chrome or I could get 20.50GBP back as "compensation" out of the 100.50GBP is paid them.
I turned everything down, if companies are even refusing to admit liability for their mistakes (all data was provided!!!) then there is no point even discussing solutions.
My advise:

DON"T have anything custom made by Hell bent Kustoms!!!

Progress on Air suspension??
So I got the bracket in for mounting the switches, but the manufacturer read the thickness wrong.
Now have to "discuss" with him to make the replacement....
Why don't people check when something is not clear!????
Mood: pissed off
