Here is a picture of my sons Bike before the Tulsa Shootout. Have to wait a few weeks before I can see how it held up after flipping it twice. Told he is just fine but very upset at himself. People been e-mailing and saying he looked good with just a few days practice. He was the rider and the mechanic for this race. I am currently working in Afghanistan and will be home for a visit in acouple weeks.
Sounds like money was well spent for this bike. All stock and keeping up with the other bikes.

Would like to say thinks to the following for help getting it ready for this race:
Honda of Tulsa for getting in on time and putting it together.
Rath's Racing for his parts availible on time.
Jeff Roberts for building new A-Arms and shorter swing arm
Hiper Wheels.
JD Jetting.

Hope you enjoy the picture. When i receive more, I will post them.

These are the before pictures. When I get home in a couple weeks I 'll take some after race pictures.

My son told me it had some scratches on the rear plastic. I asked him to through some stickers on it so I won't see them....:p :p :p

I guess the ignition switch and warning lights broke off. I was going to relocate them anyway...:D :D :D

Sorry Guys.
Just made the long journey home from Afghanistan and went straight to the track first night home.
I believe our local dealer order them straight from Ohlins dealer. Paid about $70 set.

Will be home for 3 weeks and will be going to ever race we can find around Oklahoma.

My son is telling me he hates the hydraulic clutch for hole shot. Do alot of short indoor racing in the winter.

Any suggestions to improve the clutch to be similar to a cable style clutch?

thanks for any help..
