Ive got a 34mm kuni for ya if you want , banshee petcock will fit 18 bucks motoworld but if it leaks at the tank just wrap it in teflon ! Oh whats that shock measure eye to eye ?
    The red frame isn't much better, features mostly the same defects: Broken grab bar mount on the left side, small surface rust here and there, and slightly fading black paint, ontop of the red frame having rusted foot pegs- In a nutshell, the green KX is the best of the two. With my green KX, I might just get going on a frame repaint, when I do my 200X's, since I want both of them to be black. Also, is a 34mm Mikuni going to perform better than the flatslide I have on it right now??

    And what do you mean by "what's the shock measure eye to eye?" Like are the front shocks sitting the same height?

    Another problem I have come across: Neither of the headlights work. One of them I discovered has a busted bulb, but the other one refuses to light up. Tried hooking it directly to a car battery, but no cigar, just sparks and does nothing. It's a Sylvania 12V 50 Watt. :

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    The rear one in the crate is pretty straight as far as my eyes can see. Doesn't appear to be bent or anything.

    Also welding the rear grab bar could be an option... I want to learn how to weld- not exactly sure if this would be the best time to learn how to

    You're right, I have seen several from up in the north east states. I stand corrected sir, I'll be more mindful of my comments in the future. PA and NY has allot of nice trikes. I guess when I want one bad enough I head out west of up your way. In the near future though, it looks like I'll be sticking to R's if I want an oil burner.

    Yeah, totally. I think my X will be looking purty by then too

    Not entirely sure if I will need paddles for my X either, the knobs are so big they look like they would scoop the sane nicely
