Its a showa a-kit. The different offset of the shock reservoir really males the opening in the frame look funny... But the suspension works like magic.

are you using ktm clevis and fork lugs or fitting other make on there. how hard was it to track those down and was it higher than normal used A Kit prices? is it SFF or spring, sorry i cant see the fork caps.

Looking good! What did you use for frame grip/protector? Is that just skateboard grip tape?

Thanks!

Thank you! It's skateboard grip tape. I made some plastic templates and cut them out.

That bike looks sick. I wonder who did his graphics because they look very similar to the graphics that I just put on my 15 300. It has the same seat too. It looks great.

They are sff spring forks. Spring on one side damping on the other. They came with KTM lugs and shock clevis. It took me a year to find a used KTM a-kit...

I'm equally impressed with the photo. My boss took my bike to the front parking lot and took a few shots. He wanted to get them a little earlier to have a completely black background but didn't make it in early enough. I'm more than happy with the way it turned out.

^^^ considering the special parts/effort put in,they could easily shave some more weight off that bike with the 06-09 4st swingarm swap i believe ?

Keefer looks like he has a sweet scoot for the two stroke race.

Yep! It looks really nice. Love the graphics!

Still don't love these massive FMF silencers, that shit needs to be half the length, carbon and ti but hey, it's still pretty dang nice.

They're fucking everywhere! I saw one the other day I actually had to look again to see if they'd used a 4 stroke can on a 250!

Horrible!

I've noticed those things also. FMF must be saving money by only buying one size tube and using it on everything.

That is odd. I think they'd look trick though if they were half the length.
