Well Everything You see plus pro peg nerfs, MXr4's,and front grooved radials I got for 1500 bucks. Only thing i need are a throttle cable and Tie rod ends ( im just going to purchase LSR front end) Also going to have LSR axle and Tom Carlson Shorty pipe, and SS front brake lines. That will be enough to finish the rest of my season ( we race until mid november) Then comes motor rebuild. Not sure what im doing for a motor. I have been talking with my Sponsor SMS and Shawn Says he can build me a KickAss motor for a good price. I guess Ill go from there. Ill post more pictures as more parts come in. Thanx

with stock tires and no nerfs

Actually my Uncle has one.By the time he got his started i had already had a blast riding. While you may like your over powered dirtbike ( why in the world do you need 70 rwhp stock??) I dont know. Im not talking about Vibration from the Engine im talking about vibration from having a-arms and not a single wheel. You guys barely even turn your bars.

Lmao....too much Hp...Never!!

It's a blast...takes some care but will make anything outthere look silly.

Starting is a trick...I've got it down now.Never had anything that required riding boots to even attempt to start.I learned my lesson the first ride out.Everytime we stopped someone would have to come kick mine cause I only had work boots on.They literally fell apart tryin to start her on the trailer.

Now it is like 1-2 kick and she fires off.....I do understand your point though.Here's one of mine....75mph drift in 5th...pin it and lean back.Up she comes still spinnng sideways.Addictive.

I've had a very vast Liter-sportbike background so 70hp dirtbikes aren't that much of a challenge.My 99 R1 put down 167rwhp.That was a handful.:devil:

In the dirt thats too much for one wheel. When i rode his Cr500 i attemtped to take a turn and couldnt even ride it because one little twist of the throttle and the back end was either in front of you or your front end was behind you. Those bikes take a rider who has cajones. And some weight.
