    I had Air cylinders fitted early last year, supplied by airbag.com. Cost me 600 quid for the front system for up and down and corner to corner. To fit rears was an extra 240 quid.
    Before i get flamed though, reason i fitted it was because i live on an Island and i travel over to the mainland quite a lot and it's by ferry, getting on can sometimes be a nightmare, but a quick flick of a switch and up she goes about 12ins and slams down to the floor at shows :)

    The Isle of Man is one of my favourite places.

    I have friends in Douglas and Castletown and try to get over there at least once a year. I rarely drive much on the island, as the hospitality is full on and I don't seem to get the time to dry out.

    I'll go over in the summer I think and maybe we can hook up and you can show me your Zed. Using airbags for the ferry is a cool idea.

    Sure do fellas and yep NO overall speed limit :p
    Am hoping to go with the top secret kit, the air cylinders mean you are always running on air, whereas the top secret kit means you run on coilovers but then use just the air for up and down, much better but more money!
    We get a lot of Aussies over for the TT races end of May early June, fastest motorcylce road racing circuit in the world!
    If you make plans to come over, let me know what dates your planning and i can see if any motorsport events are likely to be on near those dates incase you fancy combining them. Oh and no probs in meeting up with me Zed :)
    cheers

    Good one I'll drop you a line at the time.

    I have been going to the Isle of Man for more than 10 years. It was my job to hold a board meeting in Douglas every two months, and that went on until 2003, when my job came to an end. Since then I try to go over at least once a year to catch up with my friends.

    In all those trips, believe it or not I have never been on the island on TT week! The locals tell me the place goes totally crazy, and two or three people get killed on the bikes every year. :eek:

    There was a classic car meet once while I was there (in early September?) and it was great to see the old sports cars hooning up the Prom. I guess the Zed will be an old sports car soon.:zlove:
