anyone put a TEAM FAST King air suspension in a sidewinder?I guess it blows away all others..since Karpik is working with yamaha now maybe they will buy them out and Yamaha would be on top?

If yamaha could get Karpik to join yamaha they would be the suspension leader

Karpik is no longer employed by Yamaha and if this suspension was as good as some of you think a manufacturers would have bought the patent. Nobody has and one of the draw back's is all the top end it scrubs off, nothing wrong with the rear skid in the Winder when set up properly.

It has to do with the bypass shocks more than the suspension itself. If I could add a bypass for first 1/2-2/3 of stroke of procross it might help a ton, but they run a larger diameter shock and piston so it can be more sensitive to bumps. It gives cushy through the smaller low speed stuff and just takes a beating in the big stuff apparently.
