Got my a-arms, valve cover, and clutch cover back from the powder coater today.....looks good. Im not doing any fancy colors yet...cause i cant afford the color scheme i want...so i got that stuff all in a semi-glass black. I have a set of Elka Quadrupple rate remote rez. LT shocks...fully adjustable......on the way thx to ebay.......they are used...but one is brand new due to bad threads...and the other has a couple oval track races on them...got them for $710 biggrin.gif . So all i need now is to put the shims and cams back in.....and put the coverson....then install everything. Also gonna order someLT a-arms.......not shure what brand yet. Am leaning towards ordering some from Doug.......but imshopping around looking at other a-arms like Janseen Racing..they are cheaper and look cool...and people have told me that they are plenty strong and are good a-arms. Still not shure though.

1)LongTravel a-arms and elka quad rate fronts
2)ohlins rear (will soon get SSD/dual rate conversion)
3)HiPer wheels all around
4)New holeshot mxr4's.....18 rear and 19 front
5)Trinity stage IV full pipe

Another from the side. Allows alot more adjustment and stays protected behind the bumper/plastic.

Josh, did you have those tabs welded on the frame?

Welding....

I welded them on myself. I am a welder and also a instructor of welding at the local college so it was a piece of cake for me. I just used some 6061 x 1/8" aluminum and some 5356 filler rod and did it up today in the garage. I disconnected the battery and computer just to be on the safe side, but my TIG welder doesn't use high frequency so I wasn't really concerned. It uses a impulse start that simulates high frequency and doesn't mess with radios, cell phones, computers etc.

I also had to reweld the FMF Titanium header where it bolts to the frame, a common weak spot. So far after about 10hrs no signs of cracking.
