batman: thats probably the best description, I live 20 minutes from work and routinely take back roads to ride longer. I did my research before doing the chain conversion and specifically went for a higher ratio. I may have some distance riding coming up this summer but most of the time its just for commuting.
I guess my only concern is that I'm missing something and making a deathtrap in regards to the swingarm. Im hoping the 17/52 will allow me to clear the pivot point but if not I contacted CLMototech about his rebuild option and if I can I'll have him send me back some 320mm shocks in exchange for my 340s.
Ruttly: Gemme a couple weeks, working out a frame hoop and I have everything to fiberglass a seat pan and upholster it. Arts and crafts are much funner when you get to ride them afterwards
