I don't know the exact weight of my frame, but my employee and I picked up my 400 ex first last night (which weighs 400 pounds) then lifted the bare chassis up and it feels about the same, so I can only assume the frame is between 4 and 450 but I do need to weigh it, we thought it will feel alot heavier...

Which way you gonna install the "good" lookin' side of that rack adaptor?

Why so many changes on the suspension? Just seeking max travel and ideal camber/bump?

I'm working on mine this weekend too. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I will get you the weight as soon as I can....If I have to go buy another scale to do it I will or if I have to I'll run over to one of the King's houses (king shocks) to grab the scales and give you an exact measurement. *Gene the top in that picture is that actual top of the rack adapter and is the same way as yours is too. *I dont really know why I changed the suspension so many times, I must have just been bored on a few different nights. *The last time was that I wanted my car to be 76" wide at ride height, well I was looking at the drawing and it was set at 76" at full droop so I changed that, changed the pivots on the uprights and tweeked a few other things. *Right now the front is set at 24.5" travel, I know I will probable limit it one day, .0059" (1/200") bumpsteer through the travel, 76" wide, 5* camber change, 6* caster and 6* rake. *Gotta go do some shopping...Merry Christmas

Well today I spent most of the day giving my car a bath in wd-40...other than that, I mocked up where the pedals are going to go. *I have the bottom plate all drawn up and its over at the laser cutters. *I need about a 10.5" pedal and the shortest ones CNC makes is a 12 which I have. *I need the pedals to be 1.5" up from where they are now and about 1" out from each other so I am going to cut apart the assembly, put to breaks in each pedal and weld on 2 new pedals.... *Hope everyone has a safe new years.
