I can't wait 'til I order my dropmember....it's been too long since I was down in the weeds
I do like KP's rear set-up but . . .... what good is >7" of lift when your front can't match it? I can't think of much mechanical or ride advantage w/the 6-link & if the bag placement is right on competing systems.

Seems to me the 6-links benefit is it's easily adjusted for changes in rolling stock overall diameter while maintaining the ability to lay the frame on the ground.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
