A 5th for me!
I got my new shock today,a 5th element air for my trail bike.I'm custom making the bushings so it will fit my bike.I have a friend with a machine shop so I came up with my own stuff for my bike. This is a fun project becuse I enjoy this kind of work.I'll post pics when I'm done.

Very nice...the custom work makes it that much more rewarding, for sure.
What shock did you replace? Any first impressions / comparisons?

It replaced a X-fusion glide shock.You can't even compare the two,the 5th is so much smoother. I took it out yesterday and liked it a lot.I'll have to get some more time on it to get my spring rate and pedal platform where I want it.
