Nice job!  I'm surprised the bike stayed in the truck the way you have it tied down!

[Marco810]

Yeah lol. I was in a rush to try it out so my tie down job was compromised

 I could tell there was NO WAY you were NOT get the shot!  That was like MR. Toads Wild ride!   

  The bike sounds real strong Bro, 8-)Well Done.
 I can't figure out how the heck you held on, But you Did!

 I have to say I was tryin to turn my head and watch the road and listen to the bike and was laughing the whole time! 
  I hope you enjoy the Bike,

dep pipe and 07 250f forks showed up. time to get to work

[Friar-Tuck]

Nice!   Be sure to write back with the results, several guys (myself included) have heard of DEP but never saw the products, or how they compare to say an FMF or Pro-circuit pipe.

Will do tuck

the head stay bearings fit without any problem just needed to be shimmed. i also dropped off the front spindle at a local machine shop for them to modify enabling me to use my hub. will post some pics when i get progress

[Marco810]

Pipe fit nice and snug, pleased with the fitment. it started to rust though so i clear coated it.

why buy a bike stand when you have a bucket, right?


Got the fork stops worked out, should get my spindle back mon or tues, then ill begin mounting the caliper. also i seem to be missing the little rubber bits that mount the bar holder and i wont be able to order new ones for a while

"why buy a bike stand when you have a bucket"
  Ha-ha!  I've only recently went to an old wooden box of sorts...
Been using buckets forever.  My only advice would be to watch out during summer. I had a "Bucket fail" due to heat.
  The garage got pretty hot, the bucket got soft and collapsed... only happened once in like 15 years...
It was the XR 600, Kinda the Pre- Big Red Pig

Pipe looks good and the forks just needed shims... good deal.  Hope to hear a ride report soon!
  Take care,
 Tuck\o/

very curious about the dep pipe. Ive heard great things. Have you tried it out yet?

Very nice build. Makes me want to get my build going. I have had a 95 250 frame laying around for over a year now. I need to get in gear and find another K5 engine to start my build.

I'm interested in a review of the dep pipe as well.
