cheers, luke.
To expediate the search for the shortened HR bump stops if you want to order them from Fulcrum, the part number you need to order from Fulcrum Suspensions is :-
Superpro Polyurethane SPF0147K Shortened Bump Stop.
They are about 1 inch high as opposed to the 2 inch standard HR bump stop and are a very pretty purple colour
.
Can't tremeber the price exactly but around $54 from memory??

Always good to see a beast take its first breath...I would have thought the noise from the pulleys would drown out a leaky exhaust...
Put up a vid of it running...

Luke,
Love that external fan out the front of the motor, would love to know how you are going to mount that.
Seriously though you have come a long way.
