These Shinko SR241 Tires have the classic trials tread. They were perfect for the look we were going for here. The tread blocks have a little flex on the city streets, but are perfect for the fire roads and trails.

Is there ethanol in your fuel? If you’re using regular pump gas (even high octane) there is alcohol in your fuel that will dry out your fuel lines and make them crispy. In recent years, we have switched over and only use Tygon brand Ethanol resistant fuel line.
We've become huge fans of these budget bar end mirrors.
The trick is to clamp them directly to the bar or to weld a threaded receiver into the bar end. The aluminum expander design that they come with will fail every time. Additionally, we recommend thread locker on all of the hex head bolts.
The mini gauges we used here are from 4into1 on Amazon. Check them out:
make sure to confirm your speedo and tach drive ratio before purchasing!
Fear not purists... She was a great runner, but not much to look at when we picked her up.
We used DEI Black Hi-Temp Silicon Coating to black out these titanium wrapped headers. If you have ever wrapped headers, you'll know that it can be hard on your hands. Not with this product. It is easy to wrap and does not require the silicon spray. Also, it doesn't fill your hands with fibers like the black stuff does.
Some applications call for the electronics tray to be welded into place. If we can fabricate something that bolts on, we will do our best. This slick little tray is just big enough to accommodate a 4-cell AG401 battery from Antigravity. This bike is kickstart only, so we don’t need a high CCA battery. If you’ll notice in the photo, the previous owner had some sweet Home Depot connectors on his wiring. Don’t worry, we completely rewired this bike with quality terminal ends.
He has a gift.
Thanks for the killer shots Nathan!
