Sorry But yea dude look at it like this, the more weight you lose the faster your ruck will be Thats good motivation to me

UGH can't wait to have the wheels on :D

Motor died on me today while i was out riding. Going to have to fix that i guess. In the mean time i test fit the wheel and am dropping it off probably tomorrow to have the motor mount and shock mounted modded for the wider wheel. Then wire tuck/fix motor

so you've got the swap on yours, how fast does that sucker go and what kinda gas mileage are you getting? I'm picking one up tomorrow and I'm going to be doing a lot of commuting on it hopefully.

Mine does like 55ish pretty easily, i haven't completely topped it out yet. And i can't calculate it exactly but somewhere around 60mpg

Dropped her off for surgery today :D should be back by friday

[one8turbo]

Small update but my dr. pulley slider weights, and new cdi came in today. Im hoping i get to 60mph with these but we shall see.



Also the hub adapter came in that i need to run the front wheel/hub i ordered (will be here end of next week). Very quality piece :D



AND finally, ordered everything i need to add rear brakes. Just drums, but I've been riding with only front brakes for a little bit now. Its not that i really feel only fronts were unsafe, but i think i can def prolong the life of the front rotor/pads with the rear drums helping out :D

Got it back last night from getting the wheel centered and having the shock mount welded on the frame. Came out pretty sweet :P Decided to spray it black today to hold me over until i have enough money to get it professionally painted (unemployment sucks), came out better than i thought.

[one8turbo]

omg front wheel came in earlier than expected :P

So i haven't kept this updated at all but basically I FINALLY got it all wired back up and running the other night. I ran into a few problems, changed out the cdi and coil, replaced the stator that got shredded by a broken bolt that also wrecked the right side crank case cover that i needed to replace anyway, and replaced the throttle cable that decided to break on me while i was out riding. Today was the first day i got to ride it all back together and didn't have a single problem...hoping it stays this way :D









And for everyone that asks how fast it is heres 59mph gps confirmed :D Still have to change the slider weights out hopefully i can gain a few mph's
