Hope I'm in for the first production of the 136" ZX-2

Saw the ZX2 at the Syracuse show - Spanky's had them in the back corner of the booth almost hidden, you would think that a one of a kind break through suspension would have been right out front for all to see! If I were owner of A.D. Boivin and was tring to promote my product I'd be PISSED at this display.
They didn't do you right Jeff!
Looks great by the way and can't wait until Mine comes in

I got tired of waiting and e-mailed their "contact us" from the site.
I got the following reply;
The reason why it take so long to get back to you is that I have to answer 100 e-mail a day and answer over 150 Call a day !
But the good thing is that I answer all my message.

I called today and got mine coming wont make the weekend but will be here next week.
Talked to Jeff a little and he said the RX1 folks will benefit the most because 99% of the testing was done on that sled. He said once dialed in it will take small and medium stutter bumps better then anything around and on the big stuff when the bypass kicks in it will not bottom out. Also because of the 12 idlers and 4 8" rear wheels they saw a boost in fuel economy and top speed over stock because the friction was reduced so much.
He also walked me through the install. There is a metal plate that bolts on the inside of the tunnel, you put the first suspension bolt in through the factory mount then swing the plate up till it hits the top of teh tunnel. Out line it and remove all rivets in the way. When done put the plate in re-rivet everything through the stock hole and drill the 4 holes for the ZX2 mounting points. There may be 5-6 extra holes with rivets needed but not much. Also he said with the composite adhere to the locktite and TQ instructions to the T and there will be no problems.
Then he said because I pre-oreded and the canadian dollar is so strong I'm actually saving about $450 compared to buying one now!
I'm pumped and can't wait to get this thing, to bad I'll have to wait 2 months for snow to try it out! Time to tear up the yard!!

Got a mail from Jeff, if it wasn't already shipped, it was going out the door this week. It's getting close
a 136 that is.hum. sorry if this has been asked before, but are they shipping short-track suspensions before the longer tracks? I'm getting a 144", and I ordered mine before you, but perhaps they are making the 136 and 121 first?
