another completed B&G/AGX install...pics
i finished my B&G/AGX install last week...weather finally cleared up so i could take some pictures. figured it would be good reference for others considering this setup.
the ride is very nice...not rough at all when the AGX's are set at 2-4. and handles like a car on rails at 4-8. i also did the assembly isolator gaskets, radio shack wire wrap and KYB dust boots. no noise to speak of.
let me know what you guys think.

i got the srpings from www.shox.com at $187 shipped with the .org discount. ($157 before shipping). and i got the AGX's w/boots from www.cattman.com for $455 shipped. spiral wrap = $2, gasket material = $5...total was around $650. rides like a champ though. i think the money was well spent to do it right.
--yeah the wheels are silver...were you thinking they were white? some others have mentioned that to me. they are the '00 SE 16" wheels. i wax them and they are clean i guess they can be mistaken for white.

Looks good. When I need an alignment again I may try the spiral wrap since I have noise from the front end. I find that for the nicest ride 1/2 works the best, but I usually run 2/2 so the front end feels moderately firm. In any case if you think it's too firm try dialing down the rears.

I have the exact same setup as you, wire wrap and all, and mine still makes noises over bumps
