Roadracer gone 2-stroke!
« on: April 24, 2015, 10:45:54 AM »
Howdy! I'm Nick from STL, MO! I'm an amateur roadracer and have the sudden urge to get dirty! Kinda weird going asphalt to dirt, but hopefully my skills will transfer over  :-D

In 2013 I picked up a blown up 98 cr125 144cc big bore project bike and finally had it finished this Fall! This is a blast to ride as long the stator doesnt fry!



A few months ago I picked up a supermoto project for a great price. 1999 KX500 with low hours. (This thing wont see too much dirt until I learn the ropes...  :-P)



Here's how she sits now!



Can't wait to meet you all and learn more about riding and working on bikes!

Yes, high siding or crashing in general are bad  :lol:

I can slap my 120 slick on the front but the rear needs a 150 as i've read. The question is tubed or ghetto tubeless?  :lol:

I'm running a 160 on the back with the help of a 3/16" sprocket spacer.
