i just couldn't take it anymore!

[kicker696]

well i couldn't take it anymore, so i had to ride her, even though i still don't have a front bumper. I don't have my new tires yet, so the tires i threw on are well bald, lol! Let me tell you though, this ***** flys!!! here are a few pics after my re-build

[kicker696]

here is another, she is a little dirty cause it is really wet around here

[TheFontMaster]

Damn thats low to the ground. I take it your gonna be using it for flat track?

[kicker696]

no, mx, i got the shocks used, i am going to find out tomorrow if i need to get them revalved, but off of my litte 2 foot jump in my yard they were fine, so we will see. and yes i know i have no kicker on in te picture

[kawasaki_ridah]

that is a very sexy r :cool:

[tazman7]

What do you have done to it to make it fly? Looks great!

[kicker696]

its a rossier 295 that i re-built

[stever250r]

Nice looking R. I wish mine was ready to ride. Hopefully in a few more months.

Yours looks great!

[hondardr4life]

Looks a lot better than it used to. I like it a lot. IMO, you are DEF! going to need to get those shocks revalved. Especially for MX, mine are ZPS and they dont sit anywhere near that low. Do those measure correct from eye to eye? I think it should be like 16.5 inches or something like that (I can't remember off the top of my head)

[Jay87]

i may be wrong but i think there not the right length of shocks for them a-arms. Janseen make LONG travel a-arms and i mean LONG lol.

[250-R-250]

Actually,

They could be setup for TT;)

[Cr85rRida]

well if you need diff shocks and these are okay for stock travel and you decides to sell em let me know lol. nice bike.

[kicker696]

they are the right length, its just they compress so much on there. The janssen long travel uses a 20.5 shock, i have the standard travel though. they do need to be re-valved though, i know that, where would you say that i get them re-valved from? I called baldwin and they wanted like 800 to do it!

[Cr85rRida]

800?! You can get brand new ones for that much!:huh

[kicker696]

thats what i thought!

[wicked265R]

even if the shocks did need a revalve, they wouldnt make the front end sit like that. the tension of the springs would hold it up higher than that. looks to me your shocks are just to short. your a-arms are almost parallel! that has "broken balljoints" written all over it. I thought you were going to use the bike for flattrack racing too when i saw it. There is no way baldwin wants 800 to do a revalve. thats just rediculous. There might have been a miscommunication between you guys somewhere. Nice lookin bike anyway, love yellow and blue!

[kicker696]

the shocks measure right, so i dunno, but i called twice and that is what baldwin told me, 400 for the fronts, and 400 for the rear

[kicker696]

problem solved with the shocks, i changed the ride height and now they are fine

[hondardr4life]

There must have been some sort of miscommunication between you and Baldwins. I paid $600 for a revalve/ respring of all 3 of my shocks. Since yours probablly don't need resprung, it shouldnt cost more than 300 or 400.

post some pics.

[kicker696]

will do, i am gonna clean her all up and get some pics, what kinda front bumper should i get, i am kinda leaning toward the stadium bumper

[kicker696]

here it is, still not clean, but i just can't stop riding it!

[hondardr4life]

That looks perfect now.:macho

[Cr85rRida]

Get an AC, i think they look the best.

[450man]

hey if you need your shocks revalved still call Stephen Propson, he is out of Lomira Wisconsin, just south of Fondulac. he does very good work and his rates are unbeatable. i think 35-40 a shocks for revalve, but if you need new springs too it will be more. i'll pm you his # if you need.

[kicker696]

i didn't know propson does revalving!? if i would have known that i would have gone to him right away!

[Eddiesanders250]

nice i think you should go with ac also.

[wicked265R]

wow that thing looks much much better after playing with the ride height!
