Going to drop this off at Dave's this weekend to get hard tailed.

Be sure to allow plenty of recovery time before you start messin with it.

Re: Here We Go Reply #4 - 11/26/09 at 11:52:23 A front end swap to get the rake pulled in would be better than messing with the frame length, IMO. Maybe put some longer shocks on, too & get some clearance so the pegs didnt drag so soon in a corner & get it running hot, as a few have done, bob it so its light & go out & kill a bunch of higher dollar bikes with it.

Depending on when he can finish the hard tail it should be before January. Low, slow, and loud is what I'm going for haha.

Dave did an amazing job with the hard tail. Friend Chen lending a hand. Took a few hours to get it to this point. It should be rideable in a few days or less.
