    I would just like to thank my 2 American friends (you know who you are ) for all the help getting these from Oregon to Seattle and then to Canada via the Colby Cruise .I just installed them today ,getting the old slapper bars out of Blue Thunder was a cake walk in the park ,putting these in was a little more difficult than i thought.Ill try them out this Friday the 18 at the Street Legals,then its Bracket Racing Sat and Sunday the 19 and 20 th.Im looking forward to see how this works out . Jimmy

    Yes sir...you're gonna love them. I'll never run without them again. And they give a nice clean look too.

    I love mine, and still have yet to try them out on the track.

    It sure feels different when you gun it, even on the streets.

    The way they pivot in the front and with the adjustability they offer, binding shouldn't be a issue. You can back them off a litle for the street and then preload them for the track. The best of both worlds.
