i bought mine 2nd hand and they had khiros on em , all the pics on the official website are photod with khiros , id like advice on people who HAVE  some , and have played with the bushings , have tried double barrel venoms , they are a #unt to get on , no room left to put the nut on the kingpin ,

play around with green and reds, http://www.hopkin.com.au/venom-downhill-barrel-pack.html this should sort you out, i ued to ride double greens on the bck and a green boadside on the front with a red, for gangsta lean at speed, but bro they were 204mm kahas on a do thur and i weigh 70, best bet is to never mix them up to much (3-4 different bushing) keep the harder compound to the back and practice hey

yeah robbo hooked me up some titanium kingpins , cant remember the length though, flipin the kingpin is a good idea too, 2 washers on eash bro, precision trucks are always a cunt to man handle cause all the components are so tight,

i bought mine from kahalani recently and they came with 2 sets of green and 2 sets of red venom barrells, they fit great.

 

i wouldnt mess around with em too much man, keep it simple, try removing the bottom washer if you need more room on the kingpin, my bolt only barely pokes out of the nut.

 

thanks jay.

after gettin the two front ones on , i can feel a considerable flatspot when center , i mean when i lean i can real a big difference when the hanger starts to lean against the bushing , almost like a small jolt , seemed alot smoother transition with the khiros , maybe just a wear in thing perhaps ?
