Hey guys, My name is Frank and I also started building a 50cc zero ( CMP ). I am useing a DLA 56 and ESM retracts from the Bearcat. They are about an inch longer, but I am now making mods to make fit. I like the offsets better, as they look more scale. I could have shortend the retracts, but i feel the extra inch wont hurt, especialy if I put the drop tank on. They look really good. I DID have to take one of them apart, as the shock was binding very badly. It was about .005 bigger OD that went up into the lower leg. No worries, fixed it in 15 min. They work as good as they look. I have been looking at you guys thread for some time now ( REALLY GOOD INFO ). I will post pics and info as I progress. FRANK VITALE!!
