    I dunno, the stem would look a lot better if it was with an OS bar. I just dont like the look of a butch stem and a "skinny" bar.

    HAMMER THEM ON!!! GRRR!! :lol:

    Just don't be admiring your bar/stem combo when you're out on the trails... Could end up quite messy! Lol.

    Air for adjustability, but I'd go for a coil.

    Wanting a coilover on my 6.6. Air shock doesn't have compression adjustemnt, and although it's been 100% since it got fixed, I still don't quite trust it... You know..

    as long as it has lock out :)

    Or compression damping :wink:

    You can wind it all the way on, and is pretty much the same as lockout! Doesn't restrict you to XC type shocks then!
