the "MANTIS" killer ROLLS!

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

instead of nitrous, she'll be" RAID" injected:lol:
back in black !:naughty: once you go black, you'll never have to look back!
now i got to play with the way it sits and adjust the rear with a link i got from ronnie. needs to be about four inches lower all the way around to be just right.
thinking of cutting the forks and springs as well (85's not them 86's ones on it) an inch at a time til its right

[oldsking86]

Looking REAL good, mantis killer though, I don't know about that haha you know Ron's got that right touch but it's looking killer.. kinda sits up like mine right now haha

Nathan that thing looks disgustingly awesome bro.

[oldsking86]

Where's the motor?!?! does it look as sweet and shiny as the Z :)

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

the motor, well, ahh, the cases are in palmetto fl, getting blasted, and the tranny on its way from utah from being cut on (overide tranny):wondering
theres more out frame pipes out there then ftz and jemco let me tell ya :lol:this was made in the early 90's

[oldsking86]

Now talk about a unique pipe, wonder it it will perform well, looks kind of small compared to the FTZ's.. only one way to find out, have it running down the 300ft! :w00t:

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

i had the rear oem shock nuts all the way down (preload) i got two more inches lower by turning the nuts with a spanner wrench half way through the threads. i want to polish the engine cases like the tank and swinger, but thats going to take some time, chrome dont alway get ya home!

i hope the pipe will let it eat! other wise back to the dg !:lol:
hey jeff, some of them shiny parts where in the mix up (tank for one) thats why i was sweating on who got my sh!%!

[oldsking86]

hmmm may take some tweaking to get it just right for height, remember your weight itself will bring the bike down too, I think the front is going to be the main focus with cutting the springs if you want that mean low stance

[Mosh]

The trike is looking killer Nathan.
The RAID thing is funny.

But as they say,The Mantis is on the endangered Species list, and are hard to find,and illegal to kill:lol: :beer

[Yamahondaman]

HA HA .. I Heard That ..GOOD Point Rob !! LOOKING GOOD Nathan FO SHUR :Bounce .. i tell ya what you can do is Drive a Double Headed 16 Penny Nail in the rear resi and it will lower it some.. :lol: ..
I Might need to make a 1.5 or 2" stretch link for that BLACK Thing like i did for Lonesome ?
Hey Mike... the "stump Jumper" ATC is still Looking GOOD !! :beer

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

i still gotta get some all thread from lowes where i stripped the footpeg bolt out. heard if ya drill all the way through to the other side , it will strenthen the frame.:w00t: this is what i did to the front axle , has a little wobble, but ya dont notice it til ya hit the roads!:lol:

[oldsking86]

well it wobbles i the front, just ride a little wheelie and you should be fine! :lol:

I like to call my bike "stumpie" some times :naughty: It's set up for a dune bike, but ummm..... we aint go dunes anywhere in FL! :(

[honda250sx]

Damn Nathan i would have been flippin out too if i had that tank come to my door step on accident. I would have measured it up so i could make one!

[NINJA]

Man that thing is beautiful! I love that gastank too! Good luck to ya

[Bryan Raffa]
