Now THATS what I call a swingarm! Very nice welding done on that one there. All of that looks Awesome Bill, maybe one day my 500X will look half that nice.

Awesome stuff!

I love the custom aluminum swingarm. You just can't beat the look of beefy aluminum swingarms. Someday maybe I'll find a +2 cal-fab for my 86 Tecate.

Tell me a little bit about the gold, trailing axle showa forks on the front. I know you said they are 250R, but what do the gold tubes symbolize? very interesting and looks awesome.

How long until she's complete?

stage 3 rear suspension

[MR ATC]

Jeb, the Gold symbolizes the MUGAN adjustable cartrige fork kit this kit includes new lower tubes (painted gold) differant damping rods (that i modified), and adjustable cartridges similar to the ones found on todays MX bikes

Looking good, Bill! 8)
Tell me, did you make the new rear shock yourself? Or is it a modified 350X unit? It doesn't look anything like the stock one...

Looks great!! Were those all trak tires on the 400x at first? Do you have much experience with them? I am thinking of buying a set and would like to get some info. Again, the 400x looks sweet! :-D
