anything that frees up the leaves from torsioning up and lets them worry about drooping down has got to be goodly.. yes? well, it does in my eyes anyhoo..

Those orbit eyes look bloody good, Does any make them in this part of the world?

Would they be road legal?

Suspension Developments in Upper Hutt Wellington make a joint very similer to the orbital eye, the can be taken apart and rebuilt fairly easily, Im using one as a piviot in my a-frame
