what are the advantages of goin to a 520 chain

Less weight and less drivetrain loss.

It would be PA, I don't think we are that friendly in handing them out on "offroad" vins.  This is why I went with a KTM on my last enduro bike.

So with the  Vermont avenue about shut down, what would be the route to getting one of these plated?  This would be my major hurdle with getting one of these over say a KTM.

I'm kind of excited to see this coming.

I had a plated 08 200xcw.  It was an awesome bike for the woods in PA.

I have ridden a triple, and a twin w them. def not great most of the time. my 0.02

I can't remember his name/screen name (maybe triple-triple nut) but it was Walms (Andrew) buddy from the Canadian boards that I think was designing/working on a 3-1 pipe with Walms for the Kawi.

Did they ever get that off the ground before he passed away?

I tried some of the Krylon spray paint made specifically for plastic on Lexan. It didn't stick. I complained to Krylon and they sent me a big box of the same stuff that didn't work. Like 20 cans of spray paint. I appreciated the effort but...

I've had good luck with Krylon fusion paint in the past.  Black plastic trim on cars and modern dirtbike plastics.

On the dirt bike plastics it even held up decent to branches and whatnot in the woods.  It didn't hold up to high rub areas like where boots/legs rubbed on it.

Thank you Oxford, if you referring to Oily Pipes Eric, not sure if he still does bikes, i could'nt locate his shop, ping their page on facebook, no response.

Yes, that is who I was referring to.  I haven't been in contact with him for a few years now.  His "shop" was out of his house last I knew.

Welcome aboard.

Any members know if Eric (202wagon) is still doing work?  He would be within distance of the OP for mechanic work.

That is a sweet bike.

I got the grommets (and probably the shoulder bolts) from McMaster.  Here's the other piece of the puzzle if you are wanting to do this and mount to the stock passenger foot peg location.

Just putting this out there for rubber mounting chamber option.

I used an alloy repo caliper with alloy pistons instead.

That is what's on the bike with the drilled dual rotors I posted on the first page.

350guy, I thought about it last night after I posted, I might be giving you wrong info on what you are wanting to do.

 The TX lowers are the forks to get dual disc on a RD but I think you are going to have the same speedo problem as with flipping factory forks around for the caliper in the back.  You will just gain the caliper on the same side as stock.  Sorry for the confusion.
