NICE!

what's that little ring thing at the bb?

didn't Suzuki patent the name 'Full Floater' back in 1981?

The little ring around the BB is part of the frame. Just suppose to protect the frame from dropped chains, I suppose.

I rode it around today and LOVE it. So plush. Everything about it is very well thought out. An amazing bike that I will love even more as I get to ride it on trails.

cool.
i like big pictures... gives me something to stare at...
like... are those metal shavings on top of the shock?

and don't forget to cap your brake's bleed port:

and....

what's with that 'extra' cable routing boss? what're they thinking you want to route there?

#1: The shock mount bolt was loose. Luckily, I discovered it quickly because magnesium is soft.
#2 I can never get those caps to stay on.
#3 For a remote lockout shock, needs housing guides. I bought the DT Swiss rear shock (w/ remote) to replace the RP23.

the ABP just seems like a great idea.
