Nice work RB

Take care with the R6 shock on a SI and SII frame, as the reservoir hits the rear loop under extreme circumstances. I had to space my shock away from the frame, but it still hits. You can mount the shock upside down (with the reservoir to the front) in order to avoid this problem, but this wasn't an option for me.

Keep the photos coming. Since the forum crashed, there has been a lack of start-to-finish photo stories available, and this is a good one.
