Hey JB, just hit 10 hours and even an old slow geezer like me can notice how different it's changed! Its like I've got to start over with the clickers. I'll get in touch in a few weeks once I've figured it out. PS, I check out your YouTube bladder conversion, your design looks super clean!!!

8/1/2023 3:53pm Whats up Bruce! Solid work trimming away the side panel for easier access to the shock compression adjuster assembly. Thanks for the update on the black airbox plastic. Glad to see it fits the four stroke models as well. How much ride time do you have on the new bike?

7/6/2023 12:58pm Hey Bruce, Great find on the black air box. Is the lower airbox the same on the SXF and XCF models? I see that one is listed for the two stroke models. Im curious to hear your feedback once you receive it.

Congrats on the new bike! Hmmmm. This is where it...
