    Hello - saw your post from October about the undercoating of your Backdraft had issues and needed to be returned/replaced. Could you let me know what you meant by undercoating? I’m thinking it was the paint of the frame, but just want to confirm. I have one on order, due to arrive in Florida March/April and if they are having some issue in the South Africa factory I’d like to get ahead of it before they ship stateside. Thanks for sharing your post!

    Backdrafts since the Coyote was first released have been engineered to fit the Coyote without any structural modifications.

    So, I had some time this week to play around with it a bit more. The rear spring does in fact have an adjuster. Thanx for that. Adjusting the front is pretty easy. Jack up the frame to...
