To anybody who reads this and thinks about it think hard. I have owned my own race bike shop and built/raced my own GSX-R's and YZF's for many years. I also went to tech school but went after far more money than the field had to offer by my early 20's. It is a heck of a job doing this install. My C is in a hundred pieces right now and we had to make some tools to do it right, and you need alot of tools to make other tools with them. In the end it will be well worth it for the satisfaction of seeing it go back together though. The cradle will be a work of art once I get it all back together "Pedderfied".

And in another post some folks accused Pedders of using scare tactics in relation to showing ripped bushings and such. Mine looks just the same as they showed. Some of the main front bushings are literally torn. The cradle bushings are dry-rotted around the edges and soft as jelly. I can move the center crush tube over an inch with my fingers. Your whole rear cradle rides primarily on four huge bushings. And they're all crap to put it nicely. It may cost alot, even for the parts, but it's better than what we all have going on in all the places we never see in our cars.

It was nice to deal with you! Let me know if you need anything else!

Guys if you want to look into this, get your car on a lift, or jack it up in the garage! Check the bushes underneath and the front passenger in particular. for some reason they are the worst on all the cars I have seen, and Justin confirmed that yesterday when he had his in the air!
