[QUOTE="Howard, post: 121435, member: 271"] Ken, I'm not a purist. The Comet I raced had coil over damper front and fully sprung rear, I 'd love to build one like it, but it's not what I need, and it's not what my current Comet deserves, I'm trying to keep it standard/useable (if that makes sense). I love the work that's gone into some of the unnecessary art, like chain adjusters and friction dampers, and removing things like that take me further from the essence of Vincent. If it has to stay bumpy, so be it, but if I can make it a bit more comfortable and look the same, all the better. I had heard PCV didn't take criticism well. :)[ATTACH type="full"]35007[/ATTACH]:) [/QUOTE]
