I'm no suspension designer and I'm sure most of you aren't either. Perhaps there are parts of his kit we can't see that allow it to work well but my point to him is when prospective buyers ask to see his product in action, see pictures of it's design so we can know that we can trust it, provide or evidence that it works you need to.

This is how you sell your idea to a buyer.

Simply saying trust me it does, or pay me 1900 and you can see for yourself doesn't invoke feelings of reassurance much less a feeling that we'd have much vendor support during the install or if something does break on the trail.

One other thing Cameron, from the beginning we weren't attacking you or your design but your immediate defensive posture, immediately made your reputation suspect. If you would simply said 'sure here's a pic' or the design's not patented yet but it's a lot like the _____ lift kit (a known reliable kit) then the questions and thread would have went a totally different direction.

The bottom line here, is you are at a disadvantage. You need to prove to your buyers that they can trust your design, either via your resume/reputation, or by showing us the design in action on the kinds of trails we plan to do.

Anything short of that, simply won't work for buyers myself included.
