I'll 2nd that.
With all my weight in the front bulkhead i can be real aggressive with my RB5 just like my 4wheeler.
I didn't think the Bulldog would do much on my RB5, but i was wrong
Very impressed

yes they fit the regular velvets, not the big bores, they also have the bottom in red and the adjuster in red too. credit goes to flame, remember him posting that this is what he used a while ago.

I think it was a bad choice too.
I was just saying wonder when, because I am sure ppl will pay a pretty penny for the brown who dont want to buy the kit. Also for red, which isnt even an option. I know id pay more for blue than red or brown, just because its blue.

Should have went with black, instead of the "antique" look, or yeah gold wouldn't have been bad-same as the shock bodies..
