I have started my rebuild for this year. Basically I have just gone through and powdercoated everything and I have added on some new parts and I am having headwork done on the motor. Right now I am waiting on the head and suspension. All three shocks are being rebuilt I am running a Elka stage 3 rear shock and fox float evol gen front shocks with houser +2.25 long travel arms. The colors are lime green and mirror black.

What are you doing for plastic/graphics?

[tide2085]

Well last year I ran black plastics with the graphics below but this year I am running white maier plastics with carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber race cut fenders.. The graphics are going to be the same but with less black and more white and Im going to try an incorporate some bright orange into the graphics and some of the logos

[tide2085]

Well I got my new motoworks G2 exhaust in and installed had to make my own mounting brakets because of the lowered subframe ill post pics later.. I did roll it out and fire it up and started the breakin of the rekluse clutch. The only things im waiting on are new tires, my graphics which are being designed by 75designs. Im also still waiting on my fox floats evols. I gave them to my local shop to rebuild and they took them apart and both lower main chamber sleeves had dents in them from the previous owner. I bought them from a guy on here in december and havent used them yet just wanted to get them rebuilt and this is what I find out. The shocks are unable to compress with the dented sleeves so Im waiting for the sleeves to come in from hygear to get them back together.. Ill have pics up next time I work on it.

Ur build is looking good I like the color scheme. What class r u running

[tide2085]

I run Open C and 4 Stroke C in NEATV.. I might run some B class this year but Im just coming off a broken collarbone last season. I haven't rode since the first of July. Im ready to get back on it and hopefully everything goes smoothly.Thanks!

[MX142]

I'm curious to see the pics of how you mounted your exhaust. I had the same problem when lowering my subframe with the G2 exhaust. I used threaded eyelets like you and so far I've just threaded them out further until it cleared, which took away a lot of the lowering benefit, haha.

The build looks great!

[tide2085]

Yeah I was going to just raise it but like you said I would of lost all of the lowering benefits. Ill be out of town all weekend ill get pics up next week.

[tide2085]

Here is the final proof for my graphics. I still havent worked on it so I have no other pics, but I should be getting tires and fox float parts this week so hopefully Ill have some up soon..
