bike looks great and those boards look well and adjust nicely.
thanks! please keep me in the loop on the mids....there seem to be 3 options, (big bear, PM, epic) all in the $1000-1300 range but they're all a little different...and all very picky with exhaust fitment, and too vague on what does or doesnt work. I'd love to be able to keep my pipe.

Your stance is sick, don't think I can run mine like that. What benefits do you get with the +2 setup?

+2 front 14.25 rear

more ground clearance, longer shock travel. not a fan of scraping hard parts in middle of Apex. looks pretty good too. much different than all the lowered baggers you see around town

looks good gartec. are your shocks 14.25 or are they the 13.25 with a 1" extension? My 772s are 13.25 and if I go +2 in the front (im short - 5'7") i think ill just add the 1" extension from BBP.

I suck at attaching stuff, but that bagger race this weekend was cool! lots of trick parts on them too. ugh, i need mids lol.
