Hit it with some header paint, and DONE!
With the seat on:
Since this is an XR, not a CRF, The side plastics and rear fender are all one piece. Looks like I'll be needing a CRF rear fender and just run it without the side panels, but I totally dig the way it looks!
I didn't think it would change riding that much, other than making it more comfortable, but it really does! It's so much easier to balance, circles on the pegs are cake now. I was never really good before, I could do 3 or 4 and then set it down... but right off the bat I hopped on and did like 10 good ones, then straightened out and rode around in the same wheelie, and I've never been able to do that before!
The one and only problem so far is I have to put my sitdowns on hold because I'm still running the stock suspension, it bottoms out and the back wheel rubs on it. Looks like I'll be getting that boinger kit from 50Stunt pretty soon!
This was a pretty easy mod to do, it's super cheap, and makes back pegs a lot more comfortable. I mean, It wasn't horrible before, but now that I've tried it like this, I never want to go back to a regular 50!
