  been there ,done that    shock wise  anyway , he went farther on the mods ,, my bobber was a bit more like the apocalypse vision bobber   but dead before it was done.

  making a vision a hardtail is not a fun idea . it is easy to remove the shock, measure where you want i t,and then making a rigid dogbone to fit the hole is easy . it is the being able to handle the road shock that wakes you up and says put that damn shock back.

monkey butt and prep h wont even scratch the surface of the pain it brings.

but , a spring mounted seat pan fixes it all   keep that frame hugger pan,, give me springs .
