    finally put some finishing touches on the R (PICS)

    sorry its dirty but i took these pics today after i put on some decals and fork boots. i wish i could relate how massive this thing is. it may look small in the pics, but i'm 6' tall and i have to crawl up on this thing. i took it for a spin afterwards and she's running badazz. my 55 yr old mother rode it over the holiday weekend and earned a pretty tough rep lol

    thanks. it was a hardtail drag bike when i got it. i didnt know which way to go with it untill i got this vision lol of a beastly trail machine. it already had the +6 swinger (i wish i had an ID on it but i dont) so i widened the rear +6 with wheel spacers, took the paddles off but kept the nice douglas rims with the strykers, put the suspension on it (it came with it) and put the forks back to stock position.
    when i was messin with all the tires and rims , im the one that put that front tire on backwards lol im also the guy that put the honda wings on backwards.
    my mom rides all my toys man, its crazy. she loved the 110, loved the 84 200es, never liked my mint 85 BR so i got her on the 350X and she fell in love. then over the weekend, because of other inexperienced riders, she had to move up the the R and now she doesnt wanna ride anything else. except for the xr70 cause that thing is too much fun

    Looking good. I realize you bought it as a drag bike but please get some front brakes on that thing.
