Well I got my crank today and after a couple hours of working on it I am ready for a clutch cover and then to put this baby in the frame! I should have it fired sometime tomorrow afternoon.

And here are a couple pics of the roller it's all going in to. I've added some +2+1 Lonestar arms up front, a +4 out back that I've had laying around for about a year, and some new tires. The rears are 22x11x10 10 paddles and the front are Skat Trak Mohawks. Hopefully I didn't over paddle it, I would like some 9 paddles (I like to spin when I'm climbing) but these were just too good of a deal to pass up. I think I shouldn't have much of a problem blowing them off of the line.

And thanks to Jeff for the cheetah kit and case work.

Isn't it a little cold to be going bare foot in Rock Springs this time of year?

Not to mention I hope he put the circlip in the correct place before he bolted it together!

Not when I put it together in my basement.........I think you just have a foot fetish. I didn't even notice it was in there.

Yeah I just tossed the crank in and took a pic. I still had to put the seals on. It has a maxload also on the output side of the crank and they come with a full circlip so I didn't need to use that one.

 

I hope it's a wheelie king, I love riding beside someone about 40mph then looking at them and then I just wheelie away from em!

No over ride, maybe a duneable next year.

Hell yeah I can't wait. Hopefully the rain holds off here and I can get out to the dunes later today or tomorrow.

Here are a few pics of the finished product. Just have to pick up some zip ties and finish tying some shit up. Other than that she is ready to ride!

Yeah I know the plastics are all scratched up and stressed. It's a combo of the toolbox in my truck and a few to many endos at the dunes. I've never been much for looks. Maybe next winter will be the time to tear down and make it all shiny.

 

I also need to find some shocks valved for the wider arms. Either going to drop the coin on some new elkas this summer or hopefully find a set for sale. I can't get these re-valved, I have to ride!!!

Yeah the dunes are good all summer long. Doesn't ever really get too hot and has some mild nights. They are about 30 miles north of Rock Springs. There is 23 miles of usually rough dirt road though that stops a lot of people from going out there so it usually isn't crowded at all. About 15,000 acres of rideable dunes however they aren't as large as say Little Sahara in Utah or St. Anthony. Still a hell of a lot of fun though. There are are few 100-200 ft tall ones but mostly smaller.
