I tried that. Even tried to changed the embed type and still nothing. Grrr..

I spent all afternoon doing this, took longer than I thought it would take. But finished in a day so I'm happy. I adjusted the shocks to the softest setting and now I like it, but I do miss the smooth ride already.

Yes.... All bolts were tight prior to video. Didn't want ya to hear me making ninja sounds trying to break some of the harder bolts. So I broke them then mocked the step
