Waiting on lowers from Speedymoto, but got impatient and also needed to check out a few things with the front wheel this weekend. Hopefully, they will arrive this week.  [thumbsup]

Very cool - I think the bottom triples are "more" than just bling and was confused that the rear end was so substantially improved but the front end left 'half-done' - great to see it will be done too!

@Heath, This is what a bike looks like when you work after you get off work at DNA.  [thumbsup]

I see you’re in Colorado Springs. I’ll be there for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. If I can find a way to bring the bike out so I have something to ride while I am there, I will.
hell yeah man, for sure watching it this year, thinking of taking the Duc up there too. Let me know what your plans are.

Check out Kopfjager's M800 / 859 to see another example - His rear shock is an Ohlins in black, with Titanium spring

your gonna have to put a sign on it that says "please dont make the beast with two backs my bike"

I'd like to nominate that for the post of the year.

Arrick, your bike looks great, absolutely great... I'll see if I can get out to DITR so we can swap steeds and get a feel for the best of both Monster types.

oh, ok ok ok ok.










From my recollections - a Ti rear spring is approx. 400 u.s. bones, as is the disassembly/anodizing/rebuild process for getting "black Ohlins".

haha - parts list: Yes, I would like to see that. Cost? Hell no. Don't even give my wife an opportunity to know how much this stuff can cost!

Thanks Randy. If not there, I’m sure I will have it with me at Laguna and maybe even Indy.

Playing around with the camera a little bit.

Very nice  [thumbsup]

Love the last picture with the black Ohlins shock
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
