You can use bolts but they are a pain in the ass to take out sometimes, and can chip around the hole when you break them loose. I have powder coating plugs and caps that I use for threads and holes.\r\n

And there really isnt anywhere that you can rent one...I wouldnt rent this one out to just anyone, but friends and people that I know can ride. First I have to actually get the bike there...If everything goes as smooth and I hope, I plan to send more bikes. Maybe open a rental place  \r\n

Building this bike and shipping it to Jamaica, so I can ride on weekends over the winter...Doesnt really show in the pics but the color is Shimmering Hawaiian Candy Blue, lots of heavy flake  Will post more pics as it comes together. The rest of the parts, wheels, engine covers, triples, etc etc are going to be gloss white, with silver fairings/tank... I ran out of parts last night, but should have the white later today...

Any reason you're sticking with the 03-04 swingarm?

The 2 spots I went to weren't the best, but Ive ridden worse..And when the spot is this close to the ocean I cant complain even if its basically gravel LOL...You have to do it the Jamaican way and just deal with what you have...Plus for me its all about the Jamaican culture, Im the whitest person out there but I love Jamaican culture!
Sticking with the 03/04 swing arm because of the wheels, trying to keep this bike as cheap as possible...I had to send Cutter a wheel because he could not find one in all of Jamaica and his was warped to shit...I have some video and you can see every ones wheels wiggling side to side while rolling stoppies...05+ wheels are so high in demand now that everyone is swapping them, the guy I bought these 03/04 wheels from was selling them cause he just did the swap..

Probably should have just sent a stock or beat up bike, but I just cant roll like that...

Yeah that's sick. You're obviously doing really well to be able to make that happen.. That's dope
