I Bought the bike early July in stock form with some ugly grips and a 6pack rack... Some great deals in the classifieds combined with not enough loot to buy the LT frontend I want equals a temporary budget build. Hopefuly I can get the ball rolling by next summer but for now the stance is wider and looks great. I got this front end to my door with the hipers and tires for under 485 thanks to those here who gave me some great deals. This is a great place

A few other mods are on the way and hoping to get an axle this weekend. I need a black bumper too. Maybe have the shocks re-worked next month...

bike looks good man! the addicition never ends, trust me!!! if i were you would I for-go the shock rebuild, find a nice set of st elka's or something on here for 500 and sell your stock shocks for 200, 400ex riders buy them all the time. save some money and imo get a nicer shock, i ran st elka dune editions for almost 2 years and loved them. i miss the oregon sand!!

Thanks. Good advice... I just dont want to waste too much money and time on a rec setup because I'm gonna do a nice LT setup eventually. I want to get a black pc'd gusseted frame and use this bike's frame/arms for a new build; spare/girlfriend's bike.
TheMafia
yeah i feel you on that, i just think with shipping and rebuild costs youll be in it just as much as finding a set of used shocks on here. plus rebuilds are a little harder to resell than elka's or something like that. good luck though man, oh and LT is deeeefinetely worth it

I agree though, nice looking ride.
I really want to invest in a new set up shock/suspension wise but it's hard trying to have an all around duner/trail bike and a TT/flat track bike.

Yes Sandlake. I hope to go to practice day on the 20th and go from there. Pretty sure I should be able to do their track without LT suspension but I've never seen it. I'm looking forward to it though, alot. You live in Salem? Do you plan on racing this season too?
exracer15
yea, i live in west salem. i hope to do all of the indoor season, but it just depends on the funds. usually you can race their track without lt, i always have and have done fine. of course i have never tried it either soo idk how nice it would make it lol
