Bonrath strut bearings update...

[abatzis2 at hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

i put in dasher mounts with h/r race springs. altogether lowered it a LOT 
(too much for new orleans). i think this was much more springs than bearings 
though. at most, the design of the dasher bearings allows i think ~1/4", 
which i've been meaning to fix with a spacer/washer. no clunking after a 
year though, and i've been beating on them on the roads down here...
