I think the beginning will go something like, "Hey dudes, hold my beer and watch this!" :D

Even the briefest of glances at this XR reveals that it is not running stock suspension. In fact it is currently fitted with specialised forks and rear shockers, units built in western NSW by Ian Linklater of Boundless Suspensions Australia, who have developed a new shock absorber technology that they claim, “will revolutionise the way we look at suspension."

PhotoID42091.jpg Ian and Gavin Walker from Quick Fix Harley, worked together setting up the suspension for the XR by firstly lengthening the swing arm and setting it up with a number of shocker mounting points to allow experimentation during jumping trials.

so the engine is a harley is what ur say....

Apparently, but even a Volks Wagon Bug can go off a jump.:rolleyes: What impresses me is the suspension setup and wheels. I am not a HD fan but set up the way it is that things looks beastly! ;)
