Tyson, you dirty RAT !!!!

That's fantastic !!! Nice write up too.

First, I was a bit surprised to see that you were using non-adjustable spring plates with the poly-bronze, before swapping over...

I just put Neatrix on mine last spring. (I've got non-adjustable plates too.) I wanted to go ER, but had to limit the budget somewhere as I pretty much did the entire rear suspension and part of the front.

How does the torsion bar fit in there "after the fact" ? I know that there are different number of splines between the inner and the outer end of the bar, but is there a different diameter too ? Or do the splines line up enough to slide it through ? Regardless, I know that's how you did it, and it seems to me that would be the PERFECT solution to design ! What you couldn't (or didn't want) to adjust out with the set screw you could easily re-index the bar without a complete dis-assembly, which is a pain !!

Is there then a retaining cap or plug that goes on to keep the bar in position and gunk out ?

That's AWESOME !
