when i bought this it didnt even run and basicly everything was stained with mud. from the motor, to the bumper and grab bar. i just wanted to post up some new pics of it and see what you all thought of it. i still plan on doing some more small stuff to it but not much because i ride it, its not a show bike :D i have raced it some before but hopefully i can get some more races in this year. i cant afford all of the real good stuff because im a poor college kid lol let me all know what you think about it, and dont be afraid to tell me what you dont like too. (click for bigger pics)

looks good, oh and a quick observation of a detail that I usually would not notice lol, your front sprocket is in terrible shape man, if you ask around here you might find a stocker for cheap or free or buy one off ebay.

A good cleaner with an acid base is what I use. it works great just dont leave it on the aluminum too long cause it will corrode it. steve

i used this acid called aluminum brightener from napa, its some really strong stuff. while i was in the motor fixing some stuff i put the acid on my jug and cleaned it up, then after i got the jug back on i put it on the bottom end. i recomend it if you have some stains you cant get on but make sure you dont get it on you because its acid and it hurts. btw, thanks for all the replys, i will have to look for a front sprocket. i have a 14 tooth on it now.
