gearbox

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

Kevin at HJR. Great guy to work with and good turn around. All my motors will eventually see his bench in some way.

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.

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.

I'll take em if he can't round up the extra couple bucks.

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.

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.

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.

Paypal sent on shocks and swing arm

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.

Dibs on plastics, PM sent.

Interested in the front fenders, gas tank cover and rad cover, pm me price to 85233.

Perfect. Thanks for your input guys. I guess I'll be givin em a shot. Time to spend some of that hard earned money!

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?

Anyone running Skat Trak Superlights for normal riding at Glamis? I'm sure they are great for drags but how would they hold up under normal/heavy use in the bowls and jumping? Not doing anything really extreme but I like to leave the sand often enough.

Shouldn't be the height of the tires messin with ya Titan. I run the same size tires 8 paddle haulers and have to take off in second cause 1st is almost nonexistant out of the hole. And my bike is not a cub like yours.

I had an intermittant no spark condition on one of my shees my last trip to the dunes. It was pissin me off cause I had the same problem before loading it in the trailer and I thought I had the problem fixed with unplugging and reconnecting the TORS cause it started and ran fine after doing that. Once I got there and unloaded there was nothing. Lights flickered when kicking it over but no spark. I traced it back to a bad key switch. I just clipped the wires before the connecter and soldered them together and all was well. Easy way to check it is to unplug the key switch and throw in a jumper between the two terminals. Hope this helps.

You are not bringing that all the way from NY are you?? They sell VP 110 right across the street from the Beach Store just as cheap as I can get it for in town. Cheaper even since they have it in bulk. I was there the week after Thanksgiving and they had it for $8 a gallon. Plus they just got one of those large tanks, like 1200 gal or more, so they should not be running out. I am always nervous about them not being open but every time I ask they say they are open everyday and I have never seen them closed. It will probably save you money in the long run not having to bring it from NY as well. As far as how much, I go through about 6 gal a day with 28mm carbs and 19cc domes, average riding with a dozen or so hill shots each ride, 2 small rides and one long one each day avg. We camp at wash 6 and sometimes make extra little runs to comp hill or vendors row. What were those dates for your long road trip again anyways?

No power change, just cleans up the look of the engine area and gets those bulky parts out of the way to make tuning easier.

Dumb question I am sure but are they for sure black plastics with red paint? They just look like red painted black in the pics. What shape are the rears in and are they cut? Pics? I have a set of cut fronts and full rears in blue I might be interested in trading. Got the tank cover and radiator plastics too if you got the same in black. The rears would be good candidates for getting race cut cause they sag some though but other than that they are pretty normal wear plastics. I can get pics if you are interested.

Let me know if that falls through.

Sounds just like our style. Just out for good times at the dunes. I'll have my two 'shees out there one blue, one white, plus some 4-pokes and one old '85 atc. Hope to see ya.
