that's turning out to be one solid looking machine! I think those are the same shocks i was mulling over. my concern with them is whether or not the reservoir "neck" is going to survive rough terrain riding. Bought my wife a brand new set of made in china garden tools at Ace last year that were cast of some type of aluminum/pot metal. Really nice contoured grips, looked like decent quality. Two of them snapped the first day of use and it wasn't like she was digging in hardpan. Since then, my trust in overseas cast materials of that type is just a little lacking. same goes with basic fasteners.

T3-- are you seeing oil seepage around the shafts? sounds like the seals are blown.
