DIY - Stock Raptor 2.5 Shock Rebuild.

Finlay had a chance to rebuild the 3.0 DSC shocks. Nothing to crazy in regards to rebuild.

Also the DSC side is a pretty trick setup as you will see in the image.

I also while it was apart did a little "custom" finish to protect the remote unit. I think it came out kind of cool HAHA.

That Guage is maxed out at 250. Seems rather dagerious don't you think?

Cool idea though.

So I actually picked up the fox safety needle its a spring loaded self retracting needle assembly.

So one major difference is with needle, instead of having the gas opening at the end it is on the side and the point is a nice smooth point. This will help a lot as the needle will not remove a core of the rubber plug when it's inserted meaning that new plugs should be need much more infrequently.

This is the one sdhq sells so I guess it would be the long needle version
