    The build is coming..slowly but surely. The frame is at the powder coaters and then drop the engine in and thats it. We have everything we need at this point minus a few things here and there.

    Maggiesboy - i have ALWAYS** had great experiences from rpm_atv and recieved nothing but amazing quality parts. However the 350x headlight i bought from them looked like it had been dragged behind a pickup down a stone road. So i sent it back.


    Hopefully more pics and good news soon...

    Do we no longer have a front rim lined up along with the axle and spacers?

    I already shipped the wheel, axle, triples (that had new bearings on them) and some other odds and ends. They never arrived? Why didn't anyone say anything?!?

    I still need to ship these 200x forks out but they were practically freebeeies so i wasn't in a hurry to get them out.
    Did your get the wheel and other stuff or did it never show?

    Finally got some time and hooked up with Jimbo back on this project. Got his new swingarm bearings installed today. Waiting on getting some 200x front steering stem beaings so that we can get his triples mounted. Look for this to move quickly as alot of the work left is merely assembly. Its going to be a nice SX.

    You know, this is just a great example of the amazing talent I've seen on these boards. I truly wish I had the knowledge, skill, and tools to do something like this. Makes me feel SO guilty about spray bombing my parts and slapping them back on and re-using old stuff that should be replaced, etc. I have to stop reading threads like this, or my "cheap little hobby" won't be so cheap anymore! That thing looks better than new. You guys inspire me in ways that will surely lead to a divorce one day...
