Have not had it out yet in the snow yet. Just got our first storm today (MA). Hopeing to take it out Friday in the next storm. I took it out in the pits last weekend fo rabout 2 hrs. Had a lot of fun. She rips. I put a new longer shifter on and rear brake lever.

Not to kick a dead horse but just wanted to share the most recent pics of this little monster with everyone. I redid the seat as best as I could and put the rear spacers back on as I have modded the shed door so it will fit in. No action photos yet, just backyard crap. I have had it out in the trails once but all the snow came quickly. This photo was taken 10 min ago. All the snow is gone. Will post some action shots hopefully this weekend.

I love the way this turned out. Very comfortable to ride.

Looking good!!!

I want to see some pics or that biatch ripping in the snow!!!!!

I am just waiting for the lake here to freeze over so I can get it out and open it up. Still water showing currently. I will take it out for a trail ride this weekend and bring the camera with me.

I put on a new rear brake lever ( I am more comfortable with the hand brake then the foot). New 45 tooth rear sproket that I just got today as well. Just got to figure out how to put it on?? Seams I have to take apart the whole rear axle..

How you guys ride in the snow and not get it packed in the wheels and everywhere is a complete mystery to me.

Yeah Me too!

It looks like real crusty snow and you weren't breaking though.

skillz!!!

more throttle i dont give the snow a chance to catch the wheels to be able to stick to them muhahhahaha

**mgenest** · 01-11-2009, 10:08 AM

3 cans of Pam cooking spray. Smells good as you ride as well... No just kidding. The snow was all packed and frozen so you just ride on top and hold the throttle wide open. You could stand on the snow it was so hard.

Been riding pretty much daily on the lake here in MA. Bike is completly dialed in. Put on the new rear sproket, made a huge difference top end. Also took the twister off and put a thumb on it. Much more comfortable for me anyway.

Came back from a ride today and thought the bike looked good so I snapped a pic.

If you only knew how much I love that thing, that is so cool. I've owned my 110 for like 20 years, always wanted to hop it up. I might just have to copy what was done there.

Few things, where is the best place to get those engines,
Did you do the rear disc conversion, if so, how?
And what exhaust is that,
What front forks are those?

I think smaller back tires might look cool.

Glad you like it. It is so fun to ride.
