Here we go.   Old arms at the top! Perspective skewed a bit as there's a lot more droop on the new arms in that picture. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yes, I know, the mudguard is miles out and the wheels are about as round as a 50 pence piece - don't worry, making new ones, gotta move the mudguard as we're making new damper mounting towers too, improve the motion ratio and change the progression curve. Gives you an idea of how much travel there is though, that's not quite full compression - it's got another half an inch or so.  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

New upper mounts in progress for the damper, didn't really want to put a kink in the arms (need to be as stiff as possible) but couldn't clear the damper when it's fully compressed without, good enough anyway, another tie-rod to go down the chassis toward the rear mudguard mount too - may as well - but it's stiff enough without tbh: Don't worry, it's not getting heavier, it's all thin-wall T45 tube, lighter than it looks! Certainly lighter than the plate tower that was there before anyway. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
