wow it is almost twitchy. the steering is so quick and responsive. ive got the mtb stem and moto-x bars on it also. the tires are 110/70-12 and they help a little with pickup but you have to watch your speed going downhill b/c overall gear ratio has changed. definately recommend them though. i just need some dio brakes and forks. no front brakes really suck(that's why the pics are from the right side)

That silver camo looks sick, I might actually like it more than my camo...not sure though.
Nice wheels though too!

"the tires are 110/70-12 and they help a little with pickup but you have to watch your speed going downhill b/c overall gear ratio has changed. "
So did you lose top-speed with that wheel/tire set-up ?

well, you dont really notice it but i dont have a speedo or front brakes right now  b/c of the wheels but im gonna get a veypor soon and disc forks hopefully tomorrow.. it does pull better up hills, though. i just spun the left fork 180 so the metal bar welded to it doesnt hit the hub. a couple of spacer measurements, and its on. i'm waiting for forks and calipers before i make final spacers and stuff. |

Thanks for sending me the pics ;D
Email me after you test ride with brakes. I want to know what you think.

I remember in the late 50's riding 700lb choppers with only a spool front hub and the back drums were about useless. Now if I don't have lots of brakes, a parachute and kevlar clothing I don't even think of leaving the driveway  Time will change your perspective and your thoughts on immortality.  |
