This bike has Ohlin's piggyback shocks all around (which were rebuilt and tuned by Litz in Blountville TN) and a FMF full system. It also has DG bumper, grab bar, nerf bars, center skid and Renthal handle bars. I'm not sure of the manufacturer yet but it has a +4 rear axle and Douglas wheels all around with Razr tires. I also had to track down a factory nose piece to replace the Black one and get a Ceet blue seat cover for it.
I am currently waiting on the engine to come back from CT Racing. They are using a 74mm Kawasaki piston (67mm is stock) for mine. I don't know what the actuall cc will be but it's 70mm stroke x 74mm bore if somebody wants to figure it up. They are also doing TT style porting with 13.5/1 compression and a 41.5mm carb. He says it will be a beast when I get it back. I can't wait.

74X70 makes 300.8cc. It should definetly be a beast! What piston is that from do you know? Nice build by the way.
-
Thanks for figuring up the CC and thanks for the compliment. As for the piston, in not sure what it's for but I try to find out for you.
I see u have a 87 too. I love these bikes. I can't wait to try to lay the smack down on some of these new thumpers.

are you going to keep the fmf pipe or get another? I think a power pros or ftz pipe would be better suited to the porting and other mods your doing. The fmf will hold it back for sure.
-
CT told me the latter FMF pipes were ok but the earlier ones suck. I don't really know which one I've got so I'm just going to see how it runs and go from there. I would really like to get a Dr.Q pipe for it one day but I will check them all out and try to do research and see what's best for my setup. CT says they make a killer pipe.
-
sounds like its gonna be a blast to ride!
-
yeah the ct pipe is made by power pros i think. And yeah it would be stronger than the fmf!

Should I run gold wheels on this bike? I like how they look but they are hard to find. Does anybody know where to get them? Or should I have my Douglas wheels annodized gold? Or just leave them alone and not worry about it?
