Bike of the Day! 2-9-17 Farleigh Castle Vets MXdN 2016
Bike of the Day! 2-9-17 Farleigh Castle Vets MXdN 2016 What I started with, found by a friend on a forum for $300 tear down begins I made a skid plate for it, not only for the look but it helps eliminate the frame flex that these old 490's used to suffer from All powder coated and ready to go together, the frame should have been red because it's an '86 but I wanted it to look like the rest of the Team International Air Hammer bikes Excel did the silver rims, which was stock 88 on and EBC supplied the rotor. On the back I went with a 19inch over the stock 18 incher Tom Morgan Racing worked his magic over the motor and Installed a crank that Crank works Inc. rebuilt, balanced & trued. These mods transformed the how the bike revved and made power. It's a joy to ride. Pro-Form racing supplied the Exhaust pipe and silencer the front end came off an 89 YZ250 Throttle Jockey provided the team graphics All finished and ready to be shipped to be shipped to Farleigh castle for the Vets MXdN Finally at Farleigh, it seemed like the bike wouldn't make it on time but thankfully it did. The very first ride on the bike was qualifying on Saturday Morning EVO500 Moto #1 Sunday morning EVO500 Moto #2
