Not trying to seem like I am disregarding your feedback, because I know that you are very wise, and i respect the feedback! But this is what leads me to think that its my MC.
My brakes were on their way out before I did all this stuff. It was getting worse and worse each day.
Also, my uncle used to be a mechanic and he called me telling me not to hit the pedal all the way to the floor because what can happen is, the MC isn't used to being pushed that far and it will mess it up. I (and my gf) pushed it to the floor so many times before I even knew of this. It might not be the case, but its something to put into consideration.
Like I said, not trying to sound like a dousche and not take your feedback, because I just learned something from your last post and thats what I am here for. If I didnt have a practically new MC sitting on my seat that i got for 10 dollars I would be out there doing it right now
Thanks again man. Hope I didnt come off like a *****.

Not at all... just wanted to make sure you were aware of all the options.
Glad to see it back on track... when you going to Rausch?
I'm shooting for a mid September run.

I am hopefully going this saturday depending on how the brakes go. I would bet that I am going though! Idk how much I will be able to wheel though once I am in college. Atleast not at rausch

Thanks man! I will letcha know how it goes when I start next week.
Went to topless for ta ta's today up at rausch creek. AWESOME day. Longarms work great. My pitman arm/steering is affecting my droop and I have a little bit of bumpsteer. So I am gunna put in my drop pitman arm soon. I also have vibes from most likely my pinion angle. Other than needing a new exhaust system that doesnt rub on my unibody everything is sound.
Next on the list (no time soon unless I hit the lottery) 4.56's an aussie up front and limited slip in the rear.
Pics will be up when I round them all up

Yano I had it on ALL day, cause I hate wheeling without it lol. But my neck was getting rubbed raw so I was starting to wear it on my lap and put the other part behind me. But I do think it was off there cause I hopped outta my jeep before doing that :X
