Nice Job on the seat & swingarm. That swingarm should be nic e& strong now & is one of the nicer looking ones I have seen.

I have polished the backrest and installed it ..changed my signals..chrome brake and clutch caps ..Polished side covers..polished carb covers..installed crank case breather covers..installed engine gaurds .. installed new headlight..mirrors,,chrome scoops,,made a led brakelight and moved my tag up,, swingarm arm bolt covers,,engine side head covers...radiator grill cover,, modified my exhaust and few things im sure im forgot :rofl_200:

Which bars did you switch to? I've found that bars can make such a big difference in riding position comfort...

Dave they were the super sport bars they still have a lil rise to them and lil pull back you can get them from sean on here.. made the bike handle alot better to me and more comfy.

Looks like you've been busy. Your bike looks great! Nice job on the arm, seat and everything else.

prepped the scoops, frame brace, side panels, radiator end covers for paint. Tomorrow I should be done with the headlight cases, tail piece, and belly pan.

what type of front wheel is that? is it an RC, most 3 spoke fronts are off of 17" sport bikes.

if its 3.5" wide a 130 tire will also fit up front (with an RCH to spare). i have a shinko advance on my cazz 3.5 x 18 front.

If you haven't already, these steps would be an excellent thread in the "How-to" Section

Not a bad idea. I did it: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?p=293056#post293056

Thanks for the pad. I'll see how I like just the pegs but have a pretty solid idea I'll be buying one of those in the spring.

Finished up on the prep work. taking the VMX12 and the other decals off the bike was a pain. Decalkits.com must use nuclear adhesive. Then I shot the silver then the candy red on the picot bolt covers, side panels, and frame braces.

So far so good :clapping:
