What's this I hear about an extreme model of the backbone brace? Is it 1" thick and does it come with new bolts

First I have heard - Buhler ?

Well, I created one that is 1 foot thick - only problem is when I lower the jacks the wheels don't touch now...

Yea I have known about this one a while now, Dr. Love told me it has half the flex of the Race, which isn't much but there is a slight difference, the difference between the Street and the Race is much greater, street is 1/10 of stock, Race is 1/3 of Street, Extreme is 1/2 of Race. Now remember these numbers are getting very small compared to the stock one. Take a pie, cut a piece that is 1/10, then take 1/3 of that, than take 1/2 of that very small piece of pie, throw that away and go get the rest of the pie and eat it, I suppose you could do the same thing with Pi too.

That's a hell of a huge weight penalty to reduce some flex.

Let me back that up :-) What's the weight of the 1" thick piece?? I'm a weight freak

(says the fat guy with 20 lbs of stereo equipment in his sky)

That being said... I am EXTREMEly happy with my backbone brace, and the guys at DDM

OK, you got me... the rumor starter OP...

So, what's the story on the extreme version? I'm guessing 5/8-3/4"

lil goat · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:37:43 PM »

It's 8/16 ths, and only weight 19 lbs.

Partly right

lil goat · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:46:30 PM »

I don't know the real weight, I would guess close to 10.

Yamatr3 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2009, 07:09:36 PM »

I'll say it looks really cool!

Ben L · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2009, 07:16:35 PM »

I'm guessing its thicker, but has the weight saving cutouts. But who cares what I think?

jonymac · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:04:21 PM »

8/16ths? No way! I bet it's 16/32nds!

Bigblau · « **Reply #16 on:** May 19, 2009, 04:48:06 AM »

Howbout 12,700 micrometers and perhaps maybe closer to 4,989,516 milligrams???

About the only thing sadder than POSTING such stuff at 3AM is READING it at 4AM !!!!! Raging poison ivy is MY excuse, what's YOURS?

I'm working a 12hour night shift and getting bored. This keeps me awake.
