Why, did you get it from Darren at Blazecut?

Is it holding you up or are you still plodding away.

And the CE update still more stalling tactics, they give us a tracking number with ups and when you log on to check it its just a "label created" comes up no postage address and no activity!! What a joke looks like we are heading down uk consumer affairs now!! 8 months waiting.

Glad it is finally getting to you, but the support from CE sucks. Puts me off buying anything from them in the future.

cheers Matty hope to have it finished soon :)

Here's the rear kit, it has the updated AU rear arms which give more ground clearance.

A arm mounted, not going to be using these bags as they don't have internal bumpstops.
