You clearly have not spent much time looking for older bikes. There are a lot of gems out there that have not been jacked with at all and are all original, low hour. You just have to keep your eyes peeled for them. Some of my best ever low hour original ... more »

Given that it has been taken apart and frame painted that significantly drops the value in my eyes. Not completely because frame painted wrong color, but because it means someone has turned all the bolts on it, stripped some out, possibly lost stuff, ... more »

Funny, I still have a set of Factory Effex wheels. Been using them as spares/different tire wheel set for years.

Got a chance to install my mounts and ride my RMZ at Red Bud over the weekend. Being sandy RB isn't the perfect test track, but I certainly did notice a very positive change! My one question remaining is, why would the OEMs build these bikes so rigid

I was there and saw it. There was a little kicker in that jump and he hit it. My friend hit it the next lap of that 125 race and almost did the same exact thing. They re-groomed the face after that race.

Ordered a set for my '18 RMZ450. Been reading about these for a long time, going back to JGR setting the bike up initially. I might not be fast anymore, but I can trick my bike out! LOL. Funny how that works...back when I was actually decent at racing ... more »

What about the helmets? I tried one on at Red Bud MXoN and they were pretty nice.

Sure would be nice to see the internals of the BRFC Kaw was running on Savatgy's bike....

I played with fork height a lot after this post was made and had my best results with the forks flush. I also added an X-trig preload ring (not cheap) so that I can adjust sag easier and whenever I feel like it by the turn of a screw. Lowering the forks ... more »

WOW!

I did not qualify for LL but I have raced Mike Brown twice at Regionals. Once this year at High Point and two years ago at Pleasure Valley. I've also lined up against Tim Ferry, John Grewe and whatever ex pros have come through the 35 and 40 classes ... more »

EKS Goggles are great, been using them for years. As with all goggles, it is important to find the ones that fit YOU the best. Sounds silly but I've had brands that won't seal against my face and allow dirt in, others that dig into the bridge of my nose. ... more »

Great find! Listen to this....a friend of mine has a 1997 CR125 that he bought brand new from Honda of Troy in Ohio in late 1997. The bike has less than 5 hours on it and is 100% original. I've tried to get him to sell it to me a few times but he likes ... more »

There is one other rule that is easy to overlook regarding Alternates: "A minimum of 50% of the guaranteed qualifying positions from each Regional will advance to the National, regardless of the riders’ power ranking." This is essentially the "West Coast ... more »

There are 2 stages of alternates being selected and yes you have to pre-register and pay before the deadline if you want to be "on the alternate" list. 1. During Pre-Registration. Once registration closes, if 42 racers that have direct tickets did not ... more »

I started using those radiators on old bikes that I planned to actually race simply because they are new, un-corroded, etc. I was having some issues with my 1983 RM125 running hot, switched to one of those and problem solved. Just think how "trick" we ... more »
