Ha ha!

Yeah, fires on the first or second kick...after a couple of slow prime kicks with the fuel on and the coil power off.

My only complaint with the way it rides is the super sloppy front end. It's mushy and is too short. The frame bottoms out on everything sticking up. I have the 10 over Harley springer to try on it but I'm going to try my Columbus Custom Manufacturing narrow springer first. It is much more fitting with the way the rest of the bike is set up. It's 6 over but should be good.

The reason why it needs a longer front end is because of how low it is. The kicker can't make a full stroke unless I tilt the bike to the left hard...and considering the pressure it takes to kick it over, this is a pain in the ***.

I need to swap bearing cups & bearings to convert it to 1" but that's easy enough.

It's a blast. It vibrates like crazy and leaks a little oil. Everyone needs one!

Started on replacing the forward controls. Parts for these are a pain to find so I'm retro-fitting a set of Evo forwards to it.

Old brake side



Where I am so far

For as low as that thing is, You should put mids on it, then you wouldn't need a kick stand. lol
