Very cool! Can you get some photos of the aluminium block and how it attaches to the shock?

Hey Mike, It looks like the link is no good.  eBay said, "This listing (160336760332) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number. "

DCarr, you gotta love those Penguins! :-P

If Callum is listening, would it be possible to produce something like that adapter? I was just looking at the RDS products and noticed your new link for bushings and bolts to enable the use of newer air shocks.

It looks like the guy has the lower eyelet running along an X axis, but the top along the Y axis. Essentially the top yoke is just a U-shaped piece, where the top shock eyelet fits through the uprights of the "U", and the lower part of the U is thick with a hole drilled through it, which becomes the new, overall top eyelet for the shock assembly.

I wonder what length shock is used? What about for a Way Big fork...would you end up using the Fox Float 8.5 or something like that?
