Yeah, I got in trouble for the photos being to big, so I had to delete them. No change to the length of the stock link. The best thing to do is copy the riser I did in my K10 build. It gives you options for height and length.

So I did it:



Did definitely help, and sure looks better! Then I looked at it and thought, huh, what kind of guy looks at something like that and thinks, "Hey, I can move this and this and put this here and it'll work better"

Nice, if you move them up about 1/4" more and forward same it should get even better.

I think it's about experimenting... Whoever thought of this modification first probably didn't get it right the first time it probably took him a couple of tries. the more you see other people doing modifications it kind of opens your mind up to think the same way.

WOW!!
This was my first good look at this Build. Even though I can't see any pictures past page 3 (Photophucket!!), what you had up to that point looks amazing!
So kudos from one Old Fart Retiree to another!

Wow, This is a old thread, that's why I never went in and fixed the photos. Anyway thanks for the kind words. This was my first ascender. Now 4 ascenders later I'm working on the 46 Power Wagon.
