So I guess this would be the best place for me to brag about and show off what I recently purchased, and to document how im going to make it even better!
I have been taking lots of pictures, but the sad part is ever since photo****et messed everyone up, I haven't found a good hosting site that I like. I take all my pictures with my phone (samsung s7) so I'm trying to find a way I can load them directly from the phone to the forum and have them come up as a picture and not a link.
So for the time being, check the link for teaser pic...
Story of the bike go's somthing like this....
From what I know I'm the 3rd owner, it clearly has been laid down at some point, but was repaired enough to ride. Originally a California bike, but all emissions have been removed. I Purchase it to be mainly a fun track oriented bike with occasional trips to work or weekend trips to the mountain, but like I said, the bike will have a more track oriented build.
When I came across the for sale add and realized the bike had full ohlins suspension i didn't hesitate to pull the purchase trigger. Made a few phone calls and with in a week it was at my house (I live in Olympia, WA and the bike was in California so some arragments had to be made but all went smoothly). The bike also comes with a full akro system, I believe it's just the stainless and not the ty, but still it's in pretty good shape. Also has a scotts dampened, and the bike has been tuned on the dyno and is putting down roughly 138hp.
Im not a huge fan of all black, I like flashy things, so this off season it will be getting a repaint. But for now, I just wanna enjoy it. The bike was really in need of some detail TLC, lots of screws missing or in the wrong place, loose wires, things of that sort. The biggest thing it was in need of was a new subframe, the old one was bent pretty bad. I have had the bike about 2 weeks now and have repaired or replaced most everything. I will post more detail stuff about the things I have done, and future plans as they happen.
