Look foward to it
The Mad Viking Project
Welcome to the Mad Viking Project. I'm anxious to get started... Clutching and suspension are top priorities, but plenty of other awesome things will be happening here... keep an eye out.

Definitely a cool project name, with a name like that i'd like to see it live up to it's name, this is going to be cool
Show us the money, i mean parts!
As mentioned, Ohlins will probably be used on this ride.... The TTX is their top damper. It is a twin tube design, but the gas is separated in a reservoir like mono tube damper. The twin tube design keeps it cavitation free, and gives it unmatched response. It also contains and internal secondary piston which works as a hydraulic bump stop, Ohlins calls this system the Progressive Dampening System, or PDS. Here's a picture of one.

Here's a sneak peak of a front end mock-up I did this AM. This is a regular (if you can call Ohlins that) 36mm mono tube with PDS, about the same size as one would see on something like a RZR S w/ the Fox Shocks. A very nice capable shock, but I'd rather go with the nice TTX44 shown above, it will run at speed all day long. Travel on the front end can be pushed up from the stock 8.1" to a nice 12". Roughly 2" more in compression travel, and 2" more go to droop. Next, we'll check out the rear set-up.
