Got my frame back yesterday and started the rebuild. I got it hard tailed by Dave (www.tanksbytigman.com) dude did an absolute amazing job and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.






Using some Odyssey bmx levers for the controls.


Rocks Chops lane splitter bars. Gonna try and fire it up tonight.

Looks really good. How much stretch is it?

[kevinphan]

2inch stretch, you can't see in the pictures but it's chain driven now.

Bike is looking great! I can just see a peak of the chain in the last pic.

Did you cut the tabs off the side of the frame that are used to mount the stock tank to get that sporty tank on there?

[djturnz]

What did you do to lower it from pic 1 to pic 2? The rear shocks look the same, but it looks a lot lower.

We cut off the existing tabs, and the top most motor mount bolt and it slipped on pretty darn good. I'll snap off a photo later on.

I removed load off of the spring by removing this pipe preload inside the forks itself.
