    Nice bike. I like to get some rims and tires like you have on it now. What size rims and tires are you running now?

    I am building it to be unstopable remember? Ha ha!

    In all honesty I am planning on adding a disc brake.

    Was thinking of putting he disc brake on the front but modexbrute had a good point on saying that when you have he front tire in the air I ain't going to do you any good. So a rear disc brake will be in the disant future.

    Freaking Honda drum brakes never last on any atv they produced. At least they never last in he mud.

    This is a minor project as I have fabricated and installed air ride suspensions for Ford superdutys and jeeps. I used to build semi milk transport trailers for a living so fab work comes easy. It just come with my old career
    air ride suspensions are ok on jeeps if the person is towing a lot... this guy in our jeep club has it on his 4 door rubi.. its nice he can change the height but it limits it flex a lot.

    Ok so I have the bike apart and am in the process of raising all the mounts for the tank, seat and rear fenders. Should have all of that done tomorrow. I am loving the idea of sitting up higher, more out of the water.

    I am going to lift it 4 inches.

    The wrap is holding up fine, For reson it bubles on my plastic tank, I just pop the buble and re-stick it. I used the non permanent because it was thicker and thus mor durable.

    I will get pics of the build by tomorrow night.

    The 400ex carb is on the way too. We will se how that works out.
