OK, so it seems like their RR is good, but starter sol is iffy at best. Might just do all stock except for the HM upgrades.
Been crazy busy with work and still waiting on quite a few things. The cyls are back from JMR with a bunch of goodies I bought through him, will post pix when I open up everything. Graveyard shift last night, so had little time to work today. Finished up rebuilding the rear shock dampers. There is a long string of fails associated with this attempt (my attempt only, the rebuild is actually super easy), but I think I finally got it done on the third try. First fail was I ended up with mismatched rear shocks, got that corrected and made the monumental blunder of getting them powder coated. Came out looking fantastic but the inner mechanism had welded itself stuck.
Got another set, sandblasted, painted and baked it at home, then finally did the rebuild following the excellent walkthrough over at the hondatwins forum (link earlier in this thread). Couple things I did differently, I added a small amount of AT-205 seal repair/leak stopper to rejuvenate the old top seals and internal rubber parts. Used Dex3 ATF (had on hand, used on my lil Chevy) and the feel is AMAZINGLY uniform. Used zinced up fork drain bolts with the smaller heads that fit nicely without hitting anything. When I tapped the hole for a 6x1.0mm bolt, it felt a very tiny bit too loose, so just for added sealing, I used a tiny dab of permatex on the threads, and torqued it down tightly using new fork drain crush washers. Hopefully these will work out well.
Why all the headache? This one was purely based on the look I'm after, would have been easier to just throw on a set of hagons or konis.
