Had a couple issues with my new front end, but Jason's handling it.

Despite that, I got my front end put on and hopefully dialed in. Full on testing and tweaking will happen tomorrow, really looking forward to it. It was real sweet to build, typical BMI quality, top notch, and no shims!

Gotta thank you guys that mentioned the paper trick for setting droop. It got me in the ball park. When set properly for 1mm of front droop, the flex link [ride height] set screw never lifts from the chassis [with the kit 1.5mm links], which should limit any gouging of the chassis plate through use.

So far, adjustments are easy to make, everything seems well thought-out, and I can't wait to turn some laps.
