    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I wouldn't worry...he's definitely on it. With all of us wanting to spend $$$ on his product....he's not going to give the green light untill its 100% quality.

piggyback update

piggyback update

gents,

We have completed all testing for both prototypes of the newly minted GS spec VIPEX shock and at this point there are certainly some positives to report but not entirely. As with the Honda CBF pieces the manufacturing quality is first rate, as is all associated fit and finish. Unfortunately after some track and road testing we are not 100% satisfied with the result. The valving seems to be a tad off as does the the spring's rate of progressive wind. I am passing along to you to observations made by our test riders and myself. On the positive side of things I am not quite ready to release a product that you will not love - we want everyone satisfied here. The downside - we need to tweak the valving and spring rates to get it right. It wont be much longer as the factory already has the specs for the modified valving and the new spring rate. In other words the new new prototype is in the queue.
 
Thanks for the update Brian,

One thing occurred to me while reading your post. I can acknowledge the great thing your doing for the rear suspension on these old bikes but where do you find a test bike thats not all F'ed up in the front end ?

Waiting patiently...

Hi Brian,

Hows your summer going ? Any big plans ? Vacations ? Hows the Fam ? Did you catch that last episode of LOST ? Weird. Have you seen the new Pirates movie ? Hope all is well... See ya....






















P.S. Any word on the Shocks ?
 
He's around guys, just busy working on them. Give it some time...you want the best product, not something rushed.

Count me in on a set for my 1100e. They sound like they are going to be an awesome product. Andy
