  1. I'd say hit up something like the Wicked 2+1's (I like the caster adjustable but stick to the balljoint style at the spindle cause they are stronger), a good +2 round house swinger, Elkas maybe 1 or 2 stages up from base model with piggy backs, and a G-force +4 axle. If it was me I'd be going with Lonestar arms front and rear but depends on what your budget is. Don't forget that you will be needing brake lines all around. Just my $0.02
  2. Kevin at HJR. Great guy to work with and good turn around. All my motors will eventually see his bench in some way.
  3. First off I'd think you need to figure out what type a rider you are. That would help to figure out what to recommend. Are you: Insane and hi flying, Hard carver with medium jumps, drag... I mean what do you want from the bike? I like hard carving, mid level jumping, long rides, and to be able to shoot Olds or China and stay at the front. I'm just under 200 lbs and run mid priced 2+1 front arms comperable to the wickeds which I hear are great for the price, an older +2 roundhouse swingarm from Lonestar (go with the roundhouse! you will be happy you did trust me), a +4 axle by Lonestar, and Ohlins all around. I love the ride and the bikes soaks up anything I throw at it. I'm on ITP type C wheels with skat trak mohawks up front and 21x12x8 skat trak 8 paddle extremes in the rear. The bike is FAST, ported, hi compression, running 110. It a great setup for me in all conditions at Glamis and I can still run it in the desert around the phoenix area with dirt tires. By the way most of this stuff came from fellow BHQers in the For Sale forum. Figure out how hard you are planning on riding the bike and I bet we can recommend what will give you the most bang for your buck.
  4. I agree. I can understand things takin a bit of time but when I get no response at all from someone who has that much money of mine I start gettin a little pissed. Esp when I read nothing but "good communication" and "fast shipping" about him. Still have not heard anything.
  5. I'll take em if he can't round up the extra couple bucks.
  6. Nice. I guess I will have to file a claim to get any response then. This is the first real issue I've had with buying parts off BHQ. Not happy since it was the biggest $ amount.
  7. Paid this guy $450 on the 21st of Sept. Have not seen the parts yet nor have I heard from him since the 22nd of Sept. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. I am hoping there has just been a hangup but am very worried because of no communication. Getting ready to file through Paypal to get funds back and report as fraud if I don't hear from him soon.
  8. Anyone heard from this guy? Had my money since the 22nd of Sept and haven't seen the parts or heard from him since then. About to file a claim.

    Pismo

    Anyone know a good spot nearby the camp area to pick up VP 110? Gonna be making a first trip to Pismo in mid June and would like to haul from AZ dry. Glamis makes it so easy with fuel across from beach store I've been spoiled. By the gallon bulk would be best if possible.
  10. Interested in the front fenders, gas tank cover and rad cover, pm me price to 85233.
  11. Perfect. Thanks for your input guys. I guess I'll be givin em a shot. Time to spend some of that hard earned money!
  12. I watched your video. NICE. If all that was done on superlights and they can handle a little brush then I should be fine. Thanks Any other opinions?
