Anybody with a ARC kit, that can look at at the shock and see if there is a part number there?

Domes it function the same way as a Fox CTD BootValve bike shock?

i overheard chris brown at the edmonton show saying the first gen ones were but the new ones are built for the skid specifically.......whatever that means.

Probably meant the first generation ARC kits. If that is the vmcase, it should be possible to build one for myself, at less then half of what skinz wants.

Yah for sure, i ment whatever that means was towards the changes. Could be simple tuning, or completely different internals.

I was looking and no reason the kit couldnt cost half the price it does. Get the shock from chain reaction cycles, fab the mounts and arms. Done deal.

I agree. This ARC could be a game changer. But they woul have sold alot more, and made more money if it had cost around $500. Then i wouldve bought it also.

Has anyone found/machined an adjustable coupling block like KMOD uses on there rear swing arm, instead of going with the ARC from skinz? It would be nice to be able to couple the suspension but i don't need to control it from the handlebars. Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks
