I don't understand why everything has to be handled via PM considering how many on here for this info. Is someone afraid of intellectual property theft?

You are 100% correct, we are afraid of that. We spent a long time on R&D to determine the correct route to pursue resolving the issue, and numerous revisions making the pivot arm the perfect length and angle. Unlike our patent pending multi-link rear suspension or custom made shorter final drive ratio, this is a product that we risk having copied by competitors as we know there are those in the industry that have tried and failed to figure out the solution. This is why we haven't posted any pictures of the product, in order to give ours a chance to take hold in the market.

That being said, I have no problem sending anyone the installation instructions to review which include pictures of our adjusters. Just shoot me an email : )

Order placed for two.

Will post feedback as soon as we are able to give them a test in the GT4.

Plan to do our own installation and will report back on that as well.

Thanks John for the quick call back, and very late day phone call to answer my questions and get the order placed!

After a lengthy R&D process, the change to the pivot arm was the only logical solution to resolve the complaint with no change to the structural integrity and safety of the seat.
John, good to hear you did your homework on the seat mounting. I always find it worrisome modifying a factory seat. I may look into one of these. Also interested in the rear suspension.

I appreciate that Alan, and i'll shoot you over a PM to discuss the rear suspension.

Well I just shipped out about 15 of them in the last two days so I'd expect you to hear some direct feedback shortly : )

Weird logic. Instead of showing some photos of the product and make more people interested in buying it or make these people aquatinted with your brand you are making up some conspiracy theories.
If someone wants to copy it you will send him PM with detailed instructions.
He can also order it and simply copy.

I had these installed earlier this year and have been very happy through several DE days and about 3,000 miles. Definitely more comfortable driving both with and without the helmet on.
I am fortunate to live near this shop and have found them to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and honest.

Thank you for chiming in with the kind words Rob! It was a pleasure meeting you and your GT4 is incredible (love the wrap). I'm looking forward to hitting the track with you once the season picks up
