    Oh it pulls nice, makes the front end feel light Are for trail riding it's much easier to maneuver and the jumping is much more fun.. Pop's had a chain slip up on it the other night and gashed the back of it where the carrier sits but it's ok, there went the nice white paint job lol Overall I'm very pleased with it!

    Well today was a productive day, finally got the tires mounted I scooped up from Alan... man they seem a bit tiny but I like em It hooks pretty good and makes the trails fun

    I have some stuff coming in the mail this week like a NEW CHAIN! Yea my old one has had enough and caused some damage so it was time to go, I'll get pics on once I have a free chance to get it on when it arrives.

    Here's a couple pics from today

    Instead of making new threads, I'll just keep this one up haha

    Update time,

    Well I got the new chain and braided stainless steel line for the rear brakes in and on this weekend

    Due to the size and not wanting to reduce, I'll post the hyper links to them, I got a new camera so I'm still toying with it to get the best quality. I got some wicked air today too!

    Here's the one with the new chain and the new line, yea the bike's dirty I know haha

    Here it is after I rinsed it off from riding. This is where I was talking about playing with the camera to get the best shot settings, I think to much flash was used

    More to come shortly, always something new in the works for this bike

    thanks guys, this sand is fun, but when it's dry and no rain it gets into EVERYTHING! Always have to clean the bikes

    Yea, I like the white, the old man and my bro keep telling me silver too, I'm debating it over

    Here's a little progress on the new shock.. it came in so I cleaned it up and tried the new spring

    Next stop is to have it rebuilt and set up for me Little by little it's coming together. At the same time I will do the progression springs for the front with some good weight oil
