I built mine with no bladders. I used b5 shock caps and put some spare cap o-rings from my AE rides on and tightened down the cap. No leaks and easier to bleed. Imo anyways.


Coming from a B44 used to the towers and arms being out front of the shocks. Kinda preferred it actually. Arms are cheaper and quicker to replace then pulling a shock body apart. guess I was just curious if others were having similar breakage.

Thanks Jason, always watching and rewatching your you tube vids.
