  1. Slammed a Penske 8983 shock in the rear and had a local shop slide in a race tech front revalve kit. 
    This thing is a totally different machine now. Once I get it remapped this winter it should be close to perfect for me.

    Who did you order your Penske through?  Yours mounts differently than mine (Traxxion Dynamics), different length hose?
    My buddy ordered his through Stoltec and his mounts different still.
     

    I got it through Bayside Performance in Vancouver.  The hose goes straight into the top of the reservoir not with a 90 degree fitting if that helps any.  The downfall of that is, the compression knob on the reservoir can't be turned by hand, you need to use a wrench...that sucks. 
  2. Finally got my Terry Adcox seat today. Slapped it on and went for a quick ride. Noticable difference over my Sargent seat. Quite a bit higher than the Sargent which makes me just on my toes when stopped.  
    I can't wait to go for a couple hours on it.

    Please do share more thoughts about your Terry seat when you get more saddle time in! I've placed an order for mine with a build date in December.
    I can tell you that it is much higher than my sargent.  From almost flat footed to tippy toes.  I was able to take it out and put about 35km on it.  It is really different than my sargent.  Where my sargent is much firmer and flater and digs into the underside of my legs causing some nerve pulses, this is more plush.  But not in a soft plush way...its weird, seems like your not sitting on a regular seat.  After sitting on it for a while...I don't even notice that I am sitting on the seat.  wierd...but really nice!  With the seat being taller I am glad I installed bar risers but I have noticed in the short time of riding that my shoulders seem getting a bit stiff.  I need to get a couple hours on it and get a better feel for it.

  4. I have reached out to Terry to get one for mine. Hopefully he will get back to me soon. It appears that the "nose" of the seat is angled upwards, does that stop the sliding forward over top of your bag like I get on my Sargent? My Sargent is better than stock but now that it is starting to break in it is getting worse for me. I have a 10 day ride coming up in early august and am hoping to get one of these seats before hand. What was the average wait time to get one from start to finish? I'm looking at 6 weeks lead time now.
