I can't answer your questions, but what kind of mill is that in the background?

:laugh: I never cease to be amazed at what KZRider guys can spot in the background of the photos that get posted here! Anytime I snap a pic, I make sure that my crack pipe and my kiddie porn isn't in the picture...
Merry Christmas to you all!:laugh: :whistle:

id say the best way to figure your ride height is to make like ritchie cunningham and just sit on it :whistle: just have someone measure the distance from bottem of frame tubes to ground and use this as your baseline when setting up your suspension.id put a jack or something under the bike to hold it level and secure at that height while you are mocking up your swingarm and rear shock mount or mounts.if you know the compressed height of the shock or shocks you can just make a strut and use it to mock up your shock mount just remember that will be the bottemed out point of your suspension which may be slightly lower than your ride height you are looking for but will tell you the worst case scenario for clearance issues an adjustable strut might work even better if you can piece one together. goodluck,happy wrenching!oh yeah and for the most important question,is that orange gojo or regular gojo on the shelf next to the mill?:whistle: sorry steell,couldnt help myself!

he has a quart of Penzoil on the shelf but a case of Quaker State on the Bench ,, Looks like a Bridgeport mill But ??:whistle:

It does look like a "M" head Bridgeport, but it looks to short in the pic to be one.

And possibly a rotary table with an indexing plate sitting at one end of the mill table.
