well i figured i should post some kind of progress thread... i came here to get help & some advice so put up or shut up right? lol. [wasnt sure whether to put this here or in the 50 section..]still pretty new to all this.. ive been holding off on just posting up pics cause i know they dont tell the whole story... but i finally got a shitty video together, granted i have a lot more footage i couldn't even edit cause my computer sucks but it gets the point across lol.
got the bike with an egged 88 kit so swapped in a new piston & cylinder...started out riding with a bent frame [raked the front end out a few inches] and extended swing arm, 15t front 37t rear sprockets and a shitty carb... the bike was a basketcase when i got it. only thing decent was the bbr bars and the beefed up suspension. swapped the carb, got a 14t front sprocket, then i got a new frame & stock swingarm...thats when things started to progress a little better. Just recently extended my rear brake pedal which helped a lot too.
i know its a shitty video, nothin but fb sitdowns and im still a squid so be easy on me lol... gotta start somewhere right? [i atleast threw in me dropping the bike at the end just to make it a little more worthwhile haha]
