Well I got my new paddles and wheels mounted up, 20x10x9 skat trac edges mounted on douglas blue labels, I've never ran edges before but I hear they do pretty good. I also installed the 86 R seat, I like the extra inch it gives you. Also my swingarm made it today, its a plus four, basically a stock 86 swinger lenthened by Travis at Jawz Racing, I'm sending that out to the powdercoaters as soon as I get the swinger off the Tri Z, I still need to find plus four axle, I might just buy that new. I need to find a rebuildable shock, if anyone has one let me know. I want to have it rebuilt and revalved and a new spring installed for my weight and the longer swingarm.

You did a great job with it. Looks awesome. Have you ridden it much yet?

Not yet, The weathers been lousy for a weekend trip to the beach, we might try it this weekend if the weather holds out. I was itching to toss some dirt tires on there last weekend and take it up in the hills, but that only lasted a second.lol It took me an hour just to get the Z cleaned up after the ride.

Why not get your stock shock rebuilt? I have the one out of my 86 R out getting rebuilt and maybe a custom valve stack (depending on price).

I'd like to keep my 85 stuff complete, the shock I have is in exellent shape. I figure I can find one on ebay fairly cheap.

Take a top view pict of the swingarm. I wanna see how they did the extension. It will look very good on the trike. Before you powder, you may wanna consider a chainguide.

Yeah, I want a chainguide on there. Jen do you know if the R takes the same pivot bearings as the 350x?

Scat tracs are the best sand tires ever. Trust me on this one!!
