New and improved RUBBERDOWN CUSTOMES Rincon Lift Kit

[Rubberdown]

This is my latest revised Rincon 650/680 full front and rear lift kit!

I made about 4 of these a year or so ago, but I never got much interest from the Honda guys. I had a slightly different rear set-up than whats pictured here, but as you can see, it is now 1 large solid bracket to lift the rear, one shock on each side. The front is pretty standard stuff with my style of lifts. I also used something called Black Oxcide to treat the steel, it is a chemical process that actually penetrates the surface of the steel and it is used as a rust inhibitor in the machineing trade.

This kit is already sold, but if I get enough interest, I will put it back on my product list for you Honda guys that like to play in the deep slop ;)

[Riven]

Looks good Paul.:)

Will all your steel parts be in Black Oxcide from now on?
How much better is it than paint?

[Rubberdown]

Not sure buddy, I am going to do a couple pieces and leave them out to weather for a while and see what happenes. The black oxide is a rust inhibitor, and whenever we get tools back for repair, they are never rusty, but they are usually used in some sort of coolant conditions and the coolant is always a water/oil type mix so its hard to say how it will stand up to rain and mud.

[Riven]

You might want to put a couple of scratches on one part so see if the rust will migrate fast once it gets through the finish.

[mac102004]

Woooo! I can't wait to get it!

[Rubberdown]

There he is, our latest hardore Honda warrior.

Welcome to the site dude, please let me know everything you can about it once you get it in, like any improvements with the instructions (I still have to make them available on line for you), the design, your likes and dislikes, etc etc. All feed back, good and bad is good to get.

Paul.

[mac102004]

I have a 1" Perfex kit on there now, which isn't too bad. Not really strong or high enough for my liking. I'll compare the two and let you know what I think. From those pics I'm liking it already!

[mac102004]

It came today! Looks great, I hope to install it sometime this evening.

[Rubberdown]

Did I e-mail you the instructions yet...I have a bad BAD memory...

[mac102004]

Nope lol, I don't need it. Do the front brackets go on the top or the bottom of the shock?

I got the rear lift on, I had to grind it down a little bit with a grinder for it to fit, and I still had to pound it on with a hammer, at least I know its not going to move around :D Gained about 1 3/4" over the Perfex kit, rear is at 15" of GC now with 26's, it will probably go down slightly when I put the front kit on. I took some pics to compare the two, I'll post them tomorrow.

BTW, Thanks for the key chain :cool:

[Rubberdown]

they go on at the top, I'll post some pics for you in just one minute okay ;)

front install....

Honda Rincon Lift Install Instruction

Front KiT
-Remove Tires
-Remove top shock bolt (Fig. 1)
-Remove bottom shock bolt (Fig. 2)
-Insert the slimmer front lift block into the original upper shock mounting position (Fig. 3)
-Bolt upper end of the shock into the lift block (Fig. 4)
-Bolt lower shock into position using one of the following 2 methods….
*(method with spring compressors) –Compress the spring enough to put the lower shock back into its mounted position
*(method without spring compressors)-Use a pry bar to pry the spring up a little bit and tap it into position with a plastic or rubber mallet. (See Fig.#5)
-Put front tires back on.

Rear Kit
-Remove tires
-Remove seat
-Remove top shock bolt (Fig. 6)
-Disconnect the tortion bar joint (Fig. 7 & 8 )
-Let the joint hang down freely (Fig. 9)
-Using spring compressors to compress the spring and pull the top end of it out towards the wheel well
-Install the lift block in the top shock mounting position. You must feed the new bolts in from the front to the back of the quad so that the nut goes on closer to the back of the quad.
-Bolt the top of the shocks into the lift blocks.
-Use a floor jack to lift up on the wheel hub so you can bolt the tortion bar assembly back together
-Put tires back on
-GO PLAY IN THE MUD

[Rubberdown]

Okay, so in the rear, the hole spacing was okay, or was perfect? Where did you have to dring, the thickness that would fit up intyo the frame pocket for the lift?

[mac102004]

The hole spacing was good. I had to grind the flat part of the lift so it would slide up into the frame pocket.

[Rubberdown]

Did you get the front on yet, how is it, I have 2 other people wanting this lift since I posted it here and your feedback is all thats holding me back on production of a few more kits, I wanna make sure you like it first....

Thanks dude.

Paul.

[Mole]

Hey Rubberdown. I emailed you about 2 hours ago with a request for a lift kit. I want to get one like in the pics above. Is that the one that Mac102004 got??? If so then hook me up with one man. If he gained that much over the Perfex kit then I want one for sure.

[mac102004]

Hey buddy, ya thats the new kit and mac102004 has it. I did send you back an e-mail, I'm about to go check mine again now. like I said, I have another one almost finished but its spoken for already, I will try to get into the shop on Sunday and get started on yours.

Hey, WELCOME to the site, I hope you 2 guys can help get that honda forum rockin, be sure and spread the word eh ;)

Paul.

[Mole]

Good deal man. Just let me know when you get started on it and think you can get me one. It's always fun to join a new site.

[mudmann680]

can i get one of those new rincon lifts

[Rubberdown]

Sure thing buddy, but give me a little bit to get them made.

I,m posting this from my blackberry so I hope it works out okay LOL

[mudmann680]

thats ok just tell me when you have one done

[littlegrasshopper]

I am curious about this lift too. I am not pleased with the one I have now it seems too small. Does anybody have any pics of a finished Rincon? How much do your lifts $? Dang, it seems like all I have is questions. What do yall think? lol!

[Rubberdown]

Wel;come to the site, I am selling this kit for $135 U.S. shipped and insured and right now I have 2 kits being made for 2 other guys, I can try to get another one caught up to the stage their kits are it if you like.

[littlegrasshopper]

Hook me up! I saw macs and I liked they stance it gave the Rinny.

[Rubberdown]

I'll do my best to get them finished off this week before Friday...

[Rincon1906]

Can you build me one of these lifts? Also I have 3 wheeler with a 4/130 bolt pattern and I would like to make it a 4/110 can you do that with your spacers?

[Rubberdown]

Sure, the lift kit will be a couple weeks, as will the spacers, I assume you only need 2 spacers right? They would be 1" thick

And Welcome to the forum :)

[Rincon1906]

That will work, and yeah just 2. What will all that run me with shipping 75570 is my zip. Thanks for the welcome.

[Rubberdown]

The kit is $135 U.S. shipped, and the spacers will run you another $120 for the pair of them for a total of $255 U.S. shipped and insured. I'll need payment for at least the spacers before I start them as they are a lot of work and the blanks are kinda pricey. I will need to know what your wheel stud size it, the diameter and the pitch as well as how far they stick out of the hub so I can get the same size wheel studs for you. Or if you have a preferance with what size stud you want since you seem to know what rims you will be using, that will work too, just let me know what size you want me to press into them, you may already have the lug nuts right, so we can try to match up the studs so you dont need new lug nuts.

Paul.

[Rincon1906]

It will be some wheels that fit my rincon so you can use all the dimesions off of it, if you have one you can look at. And I have the lug nuts how do i measure them I think there is a number on them though. It will probably be next week for I could get the money for the spacers, as I want to get the lift first how do I send you a payment.

[Rubberdown]

I'll send you a PM with all the details.

[Rubberdown]

OKAY littlegrasshopper, Rincon4x4, and mudmann680, I have sent you all a PM and an e-mail regarding your FINISHED lift kits. Please get back to me ASAP so I can get them sent out to you guys ;)

thanks for your orders eh guys, much appreciated :)

Paul.

[littlegrasshopper]

pm sent.

[littlegrasshopper]

Hey Paul, have you shipped them out yet. I'm not sure how lomg it will take since it's coming from Canada. I've got a busy week next week and was checking to see so I can set some time aside for the install. Hope I can get it on b/c I don't have a spring compressor.
Andy

[Rubberdown]

Hey Andy, I ship from inside the States, I drive them accross the border and ship from the USPS office. It would be about a 2 day delivery and I'm hoping to get them out on Friday night for you.

You should be able to get the kit in without compressors, I have it written in both ways, one with compressors, and one without. I'll e-mail you the instructions, but I think I posted them on the second page of this thread????

[Mole]

It won't be anything a couple of pry bars can't handle Andy.LOL
I can't wait to get mine put on. Thanks again Paul and I'll let you know when I get mine.:thumb:

[littlegrasshopper]

Thanks dude, I can't wait to get all "jacked up". I got a few pry bars but my problem is I normally only find time during the week to put things on. It's kinda hard sometimes to get a little help but you can be sure if someone else needs help I'm always there! See ya when I see ya.. ...

[Rincon1906]

Thats me to grass I am always around when someone needs help, but when I need help aint no one around. I am anxious to get mine bolted on too.

[RINMAN]

Hey There. Just Wondering Where I Can Purchase One For My 03 Rincon. These Look Absolutely Awsome..and Durable... Anyway Any Info Would Be Greatly Appreciated...

[littlegrasshopper]

I see you finally made it Rinman.

[RINMAN]

I Did Thank God... It Was A Strenuous Journey. J/k... I Really Do Appreciate Your Time Helping Me Get Here. I Wrote Paul A Message .. Im Hoping He Gets Back To Me.. That Lift Looks Sweeet And Exactly What I Need.

[Rubberdown]

Welcome Honda guys, we need some action in that forum...all the forums actually, only the GREAT one is active so far, but hey, what do you expect from popo owners, lots of muddy pics and lots to brag about LOL.

I'm just playin, welcome to the site, and thanks to the guys that helped you find your way, all good guys for sure ;)

I sent you back a PM too....

[Mole]

I got my lift kit in today Paul. Looks awesome and I can't wait to get it put on. I don't think I will ever bend this lift kit like I did the Perfex kit. Plus your material is like 5 times thicker than that of the Perfex kit. Great product.:thumb::thumb:

[Rubberdown]

Glad you like it, let me know if you have any fitment issues at all. Also, the instructions are in this thread some where I believe, if you need them though, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you.

[Rincon1906]

I would like the rest of the pictures that go with your instructions if you would not mind e-mailing them to me or posting them here.

[littlegrasshopper]

Hey Paul, I got my lift in today too and the thing looks great! I can't wait to get it put on. It will probably be tommorrow before I can do it though. I got the instructions from the other post but would like some more pics if you have them.

[Rincon1906]

Thanks

[littlegrasshopper]

Man I got mine and what a difference. It was all I was hoping for. The lift itself is top notch and the height is just right. Thanks Paul. I did have a little trouble on the rear with the holes lining up but it was just tight and needed a little help. Not sure about the factory specs but the right side was the bad one. The factory bracket was hitting the spacer before the hole would line up. I slipped a drift pin in to line it up and it worked fine. It took a little work to get the shocks in but a little prying and cussing and I got them in.
I had a 2in xtreme lift on that I had to take off and I remember the xtreme kit way harder to install than the rubberdown 3in. The rd lift was about 1.5in taller than the xtreme and the rear seemed a little more. Thanks again Paul for a great product!

Andy

[Rubberdown]

Just happy you like it Andy, now change that signature on ALL the forums you post on hehehe ;)

[PoPoRZR]

I bought a HL lift before i knew rubberdown for a sportsman well i got the rzr ad trying to sale the hl for 95 shipped and it is brand new and i havent even got anyone to even want it on HL...That is bad when you cant give it away that cheap for a brand new damn lift...

[mac102004]

Hehe, told ya the lift was awsome!

[Rincon1906]

Hey mac you have any problems with the HL springs.

[mac102004]

YES, lord. Lets just say I'm taking them off melting them down and sending them back to the bastards at HL. Putting red stockers off a 2004 on it, just came in today.

[Rincon1906]

What was the problem with the lift and the springs.

[mac102004]

No problems with the lift, or the lift and springs together, just the springs.

If you remember the recall they did on the rear springs, where the spring was slipping over the retainer. Well mine had this happen, and they also bent. Called up HL the great company that they are and they got me to send pics of them yada yada yada they called back, nope not going to replace them warranty only lasts 3 months. Needless to say I will NEVER buy anything from, or made by that company, nor will I ever recommend any of their products.

Also, when they slipped over the retainers they DESTROYED those plastic sleeves, which can`t be replaced without buying new shocks $300+ each.

[Rincon1906]

Yeah I remember that I guess I got lucky on that deal bought mine right before everyone started noticing. I cant see anything wrong with mine dosent look like they are slipping over anything. And that sucks about that piece of plastic guess you will just have to get you some elkas.

[HZ06]

Hey Rubberdown, I am interested in one of your lift kits, my Rincon is an 05 model 650, can you please email me to see when you will be making more.

[mac102004]

Yeah I remember that I guess I got lucky on that deal bought mine right before everyone started noticing. I cant see anything wrong with mine dosent look like they are slipping over anything. And that sucks about that piece of plastic guess you will just have to get you some elkas.

I would love Elka`s but they cost about $1000 for just the rears :mmph:

[Rincon1906]

Man I want some too but way to rich for my blood.

[mac102004]

Yeah, I think I'm pretty well done modding the Rincon for now. Might get a set of 27 or 28" bugs at the dealer, they got a 40% off sale going on now. $325 CND taxes in for a set of 27's. I don't know if I'll get some or not, they have the sale every couple of months it seems.

[Rincon1906]

I hear yeah I just want a new warn 3000 and a new storage box and I will be threw.

[Jonathan]

I am interested in the lift as well. Let me know how the ride goes and if you can tell a big difference in the way it handles?

[littlegrasshopper]

Hey Mac, I'll buy some outlaws and scrape the name off them and ship them to Canada for ya.

[mac102004]

lol funny.

Shipping is around $200, not counting duties.

[Mole]

Well guys I got my lift on today. Looks great. I had no problems getting the front pieces on. I had to do a little grinding on the rear bracket but nothing major. I would get some pics but my rear rack is off my bike right now along with most of the plastic so I'll get some pics later this week once my carb parts get here and I get it put back together. I also broke a stud in half taking my rear wheels off so I have to order one of those as well.:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

Great lift kit Paul. Great design and superior strength in the material. Thanks again.

[Rubberdown]

Just happy you are happy dude ;)

[RINMAN]

Hey Just Wondering What You Grinded Down.. I Have An 03 Rincon And Just Ordered Mine... Did You Use Spring Clamps In The Front Or A Pry Bar? Any Info Would Be Awsome.. I Have 1 Inch Spring Spacers In .. Do You Think I Could Keep Those In And Use Pauls Lift??? Thank You For Your Time...
Jeff

[Rubberdown]

Jeff

Hey, just to make double sure, your Rincon has rear independent suspension righ? Is it the same upper shock mounting as the newer Rincons in the rear? Is the front the same as the pictures on page 2 or 3 of this thread?

Paul.

[Jonathan]

How top heavy does it make yalls rides? If I turn sharp am I going to role it with this lift on? How much does it pull in wheel stance? Hows it handle with lift on?

[TWilson]

just pm'd ya rubberdown. Your lift looks great and from what I have seen far superior materials and fabrication than the others. I want one..Looking forward to hearing back from you.

[littlegrasshopper]

I love my RD lift! It is a little more tippy but not too bad. As far as the install I used a prybar and the rubber handle of a hammer to tap the shocks in. I had some fitment issues on the rear but a small drft pin and a little tapping got the 2nd bolt in within minutes. I thought that I was going to have to grind but I made it work.Seemed like the ears were hitting on one side. The rear stance has a little camber on mine but is hardly noticable and dosen't seem to affect the handling any.

[Rubberdown]

littlegrasshopper, the 4 kits I ust made should not interfere with that ear part on the rear now, I moved my cutter about 0.050" more into the shoulder of the part so it should be good from now on. thanks for the info though, much appreciated.

TWilson, I sent you back a PM, Welcome to the forums, I hope you stay and enjoy them and help make this place grow to its maximum potential ;)

Paul.

[littlegrasshopper]

Hey Paul, the only other thing I saw was that if you are taking another lift off and using the RD lift then you got to use the stock front shock bolts which I had a time finding. Anyone that is upgrading their lift with a RubberDown lift needs to be sure to have your stock shock bolts for the front. I tried some other bolts (I think they came off the back ) and they were too long and wouldn't tighten up.
I'm sure alot of others are going to be changing out their old crappy lifts and should know what they need to finish the job. I was curios if it would be easier to install the rear shocks if you pushed them in before you installed the bracket then pulled the shocks into the shock brackets? I did it the other way but it looks like it would have been easier......Just a thought!
Andy

[Rubberdown]

hmmm, can I get shorter bolts for the front, would that help any?

As for the rear, maybe someone waiting on the kit can try this and let us know if it was any easier or better, good job lookin out buddy, much appreciated :)

[mac102004]

My Perfex kit used the stock bolts, same as the Rubberdown kit.

[littlegrasshopper]

I had the xtreme kit and they had some stupid long spacer that went from one side to the other and came with some longer bolts. No Paul I think just having the fact that you need to reuse the factory shock bolts in the front is enough. I don't want you to have to include more parts b/c most will probably have stock suspension set up. I think the xtreme lift is the only one that uses this method and I just had a hard time finding my old shock bolts.

[pfgooseman]

Your lift looks awesome. How do ya go bout orderin one.

[Rubberdown]

Your lift looks awesome. How do ya go bout orderin one.

Welcome to the site.

I am out of stock on these new lifts, they are seemingly pretty popular LOL so I will be doing a lot of overtime next week to get another handfull made up. I will post on here when more are ready.

[RINMAN]

Yup They Are Independent. Just Hoping It Will Work With Those Shock Spacers. Do You Know If This Will Change The Angle Of The Axles Dramatically,

[Mole]

Hey RINMAN I got your PM. I would just put the Rubberdown lift on your bike and nothing else. I am running stock springs on mine with just the RD lift. I don't want to push my CV angles too much even though I have Gorillas. I don't like the shock spacers from the HL lift kit anyways since they tend to make the springs sag in the middle. Honestly if you are going to run 29.5's or 30's on your bike with the RD lift then I would invest in some Gorillas. I think tire size has a lot to do with breaking axles along with the CV angles. I think the RD lift is perfecto.LOL

Got some pics for ya'll. Enjoy and thanks again Paul. I'm going to break in this lift kit tomorrow all day long.

Looks great I am going to order mine during the trade show this week. If Honda does not come out with something new I like Wed or Thur then expect to hear from me Thur Mr. RubberDown.

I know you were working on making a new batch, anyway I can get one by Friday of next week? That would be the 14th.

[Rincon1906]

Dang, MAC you have done started something with these lifts, they are selling like hotcakes lol. I got my lift on the other day and I like it I will post some pictures later on and the spacers fit to thanks rubberdown.

[littlegrasshopper]

Payton I see you got the snorkel for the swamp series. How do you like it? Looks good and it comes out the back. I see you had to trim the plastic a little. I have been thinking hard about getting one and can't deside.

Andy

[Rincon1906]

The plastic is trimed from my previous snorkel, you would not have to trim as much as that maybe not at all. The pipe still let in water so I bought some gasket material and some muffler crack filler stuff and fixed that for 17$. All in all it is good exhaust, i just wish it was louder. It is very quiet compared to the utility series that I had.

[Jonathan]

Need that lift A.S.A.P. pm me and I will get you mailing address. Thanks

[mac102004]

PM sent, your kit is in a box awaiting payment ;)

[Mole]

Looks great Rincon1906. Yours looks like it sits higher than mine though. Maybe its your HL springs. I'm not sure why because we both run 27" Outlaws.

[Jonathan]

Need your paypal account name?

[Rincon1906]

I bet it is just the picture, the springs probably give me a half of a inch more if that. But thanks your bike looks good too.

[Rubberdown]

Need your paypal account name?

PM sent....

[pfgooseman]

I was wondering if I need to get gorilla axles or will my stockers workon my Rinny. I was also wondering if ya had any made up yet. THANKS

[Jonathan]

I would think stock would be fine if you are running something like a 27'' tire. What are you running? On the other hand, try it till something breaks and worry about the axels then lol.

[Mole]

I was wondering if I need to get gorilla axles or will my stockers workon my Rinny. I was also wondering if ya had any made up yet. THANKS

Depends on what tires you are running, how hard you are on the throttle, etc.
Alot of other things factor in on axles besides a lift kit.

[pfgooseman]

I am going to be running 27" Mud Gear tires and pulling a trailer alot

[Rubberdown]

I have 4 kits that should be ready by the weekend, and you would make the 4th guy on the waiting list if you want one. Let me know either way, thanks.

[Mole]

I think you'll be fine with stockers. If you happen to break one then just replace it with a Gorilla.

[pfgooseman]

PM your way rubberdown. And thanks for the info fellas

[Jonathan]

My lift is already here buddy lol. Great job and I got it in 2 days. Will let you know what I think when it is installed next week.

[TWilson]

Here ya go RD the pics of the rear block installed into the rear shock mounts. Before the shocks were re-installed and after. This is a great Lift, It sits higher than I expected. I have taken pics of before and after next to my stock Arctic Cat 700. Both wheelers are completely stock in the pics so it will give people a true Idea of what the lift actually does. NO HL springs NO Bigger tires just my stock AC with stock tires next to my Stock Rincon with stock tires. Before the lift then after the lift. Those pics will come a little later. For now here are the ones you asked for.

[Jonathan]

I have these pics up under the title New Rinny in pics

Go take a look and post what cha think.

EX.

[littlegrasshopper]

I got to test the Rd lift out big time today and the subject was rocks. We down here in south GA don't know alot about rocks so it was new to us. The Rincon with the Rd lift outperformed the other atvs hands down. While they would bottom out and get hung up I never touched a rock (except with the tires). The stock axles held up fine with no popping or troubles. The ride was less tippy than the others (except a stock Rincon that was getting hung up more than the sra bikes). I can't say enough about how happy I am with this lift. Thanks again Paul fro a great product!

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb114/ABROWNING680/riverride09-22-07012.jpg

The ride on the rocks was about 200yards long and took about 20-25minutes to make. The rocks were about basketballs with some of them being twice that size. Climbing out was the big task as the hill was about 20ft up and at least a 40 degree incline.

The Rincon with the Rd lift outperformed the other atvs hands down. While they would bottom out and get hung up I never touched a rock (except with the tires). The stock axles held up fine with no popping or troubles. The ride was less tippy than the others (except a stock Rincon that was getting hung up more than the sra bikes). I can't say enough about how happy I am with this lift. Thanks again Paul fro a great product!

The ride on the rocks was about 200yards long and took about 20-25minutes to make. The rocks were about basketballs with some of them being twice that size. Climbing out was the big task as the hill was about 20ft up and at least a 40 degree incline.

Got any pics during the rock ride?

I like doing the technical stuff too, its always a good time.

I didn't think about taking pics till I was almost out. Nexttime we go back I will get some pics.

Is there a link to buy this lift? I have the SS ITP wheels which stick out farther then stock, is spacers needed? I'm in Ontario so is there a price in Canadian? Thx

[Rubberdown]

From you guys.lol I am just undecided yet on trading my bike. Waiting for the 08's to come in to my dealer. If not i'll be getting this lift.

[Jonathan]

[PoPoRZR]

My dealer is awesome. I've bought 6 bikes in 1 1/2 years. I was already quoted $11300.00 for an 08 800XT, but now I'm thinking a Renegade.

Wow, thats more than I paid for my 05 brand new.

I have over 500kms on my lift so far with 0 problems. I did snap a rear CV but it was not caused by the lift in any way.

[littlegrasshopper]

What happened Mac?

[mac102004]

It was on its way out for awhile, since the big end of the CV boot sliped off the cup and I put about 150kms of swamp riding on it as it was. It was clicking for about 2 weeks. What finally did it was there is a trail made of guard rails across a swamp, got the left rear tire wedged between two rails trying to pull out a 08 Grizz from the swamp. Snapped the CV like a twig.

Icarumba... Mac Are You Shredding Axels Again... We Just Went On A Major Ride In Nh. And My Rear Outer Boot Ripped.. It Had A Little Click Then It Was Gone.. Do You Think I Should Take The Chance And Re-boot It. Or Should I Buy A Half Axel.. Thanks Man!!!!

[mac102004]

Replace the boot first, and if the CV goes replace it. There is a good chance its alright, just pack it with lots of grease. Its not a hard job either. I tore my right outer boot this weekend, replaced it in 30mins flat. :rockon:

[07rincon]

hi everyone? i am interested in a lift. rubberdown do you have any lifts that are complete or are you building them as requested? anyone running this lift with 29.5s?
sorry for all the question. thanks

[Rubberdown]

I just so happen to have one available for you if you want it ;)

[Jonathan]

I would not run anything over 27's on a Rincon unless all you are using the big tire for is in water alone. The Rincon without major mods will not turn the 29.5's in mud.

The lift is still working great on my ride.

[07rincon]

yes i do want the lift, thanks for the advice jon but it turns them just fine in the mud.
who do i send the money to and how much, address etc?....

[Rubberdown]

I'll send you a PM dude ;)

[Bigdog800EFI]

You can just send it to me, Thanks.
