I never even thought about having the CHP check the frame. I am thinking i wont say anything about the new frame . Maybe someone on here can chime in and enlighten the both of us. Regarding the shockwaves i believe i will get around 6" of travel or so. I will have to check. My planned ride height is 7 1/2" and when dumped i will be about 1" or so off the ground. I didn't want it to drag on the ground if i popped a bag or something. Also i was worried about having to low of ride height that i will rub fenders when i turn so i made it a little higher than the normal 5-6" ride height. Hopefully everything will work out.

Hey Valleycustom i sent you a pm!

One more thing. I sent on of my wheels to the powdercoater and he was hoping to have the one wheel done by tomorrow! I am praying that it is going to be done. I can't wait to see it.
