For foot fetish peeps only. Just got these in today. Stupid customs decided to hold out on me.

Check it out...

AST from England. 45mm shaft with remote resevoir. 3 way adjustable. Hi speed/low speed independent from each other and compression. Pricing? Hekka goot. All I can say is it's going to be very competitive against Butty Club, JIC, and especially Ohlins and Motons.

Here's some pics.

Yeah I'm quoting my own post. I stopped by the shop and actually secksed them up. It was hot. Remote reservoir for teh win. See pics below.

I had to smoke a cigarette after this one:

Two knobs on each reservoir. One for low speed and the other for high speed compression (or rebound, I don't remember). The rebound (or compression) is on the bottom of the shock body. Talk about having a lot of suspension tuning to do.

The other side of the reservoir. Schrader valve to refill with nitrogen.

I know of a few 1G owners who are very pleased with their Muellerized JIC FLT-A2's.

Have a good time changing front springs with the banjo fitting for the remote reservoir on the top of the strut ala Ohlins.

Have an even better time fitting tires larger than 255 with those springs...
