Man, I bet those shocks are stiff :D

Looking good. Should be a blast once it is done.

Thanks.... I plan to put orange fullbores with the chrome tank cover and a custom seatcover from jettrim to finish it off.

That might be my next purchase but Im not sure. I have someone holding a new complete PVL ignition system for me right now. I might buy that and a few other small items like chain and sprockets.. I also need carbuerator, reeds, and a kickstarter.

Other than that... I think all I will need is some good suspension to finish it off.

I figured someone would make a comment on that fine stand I have there. It finally gave in and busted on me today. Thats why the firewood is holding it up to make it level.

I guess I will have to put a stand on my list of things to buy too.

Much more and I will have to add a good attorney to my list... my wife is starting to get a bit upset with me :eek2: .....

to be honest... anything long travel is good... it all comes down to personal preference. TCS, Axis, Elka, PEP, Ohlin. more experienced racers choose Elka and Axis over the rest because they are more adjustable than the others from the factory. but I run TCS right now and i have had good luck with them.

This is what it comes down to:
Axis=american:)
Elka=canadian:(
Just messin, ive got both axis and elka on my quad. Elka make some sick front shocks. The overal quality of them is outstanding. However there rear elka shocks i feel are by no means like axis. Again this is just my prefferance. If i was going to buy all new stuff, id look into the new axis Piggybacks they are sweet.

my suspension set up is great, LT elkas up front with PEP ZPS rear, PEP has the best rear shock in my oppinion , althought i am going to build a YFZ and i am going with TCS only becasue i heard they have great customer service, you cant beat the price, and i also heard they are a great shock that are perfectly set up from the factory.

BTW bad *** bike man, that is gunna look sick when its done
