Been a bit lazy this winter

I managed to get just about nothing actually done this winter, and then Saturday was sunny and almost warm and my bike was in pieces.
That was enough motivation to get stuff done.
new needle jets installed. Airfilter mounted. Its a tight fit and needed a bit of modification to get in there, but the pods squished between the frame rails really bugged me. Matching rear rim laced to a disk hub with a little Brembo caliper and R3 disk that weighs a fraction of the original unit.
Now I have to test it out, and if everything works I can finish mounts and stuff and clean things up a bit.

I had to move the rear sprocket over 1/2" to get the chain to align, and from what I have read, the cush drives don't really like that. I made the spacer fit tight to the flange on the hub just like the sprocket does, held in place by the circlip and the sprocket is bolted to the spacer. I may still have to replace the cush drives with solid aluminum in the future.

Looks great Rodney.

Is that a Banshee kicker on there?

Yup, Banshee kicker. Its Banshee cases, RZ trans and a 421 top end from Driveline.Kicker is a bit short, so you have to watch your foot at the foot peg.

Just so impressive. Is the border open yet?

Negative on the border. I have a little "cabin" near Mount Baker that I cant get to. Pretty sure my wife left food in the fridge last year Feb when she was there, so I may just be a case of duct taping the door closed and sending it to the dump when I finally get back down there.
