First off I'd like to thank Chris for trusting me with his new practice bike.I got the bike Wednesday and on first impressions its a little rough!!!! Pretty much every bearing and bushing is shot. It has some good parts to get a good XC bike going. With a little love it will be a stong runner that should be able to hold its own on any XC course. I did Gunny's bike and thought it turned out great, but this one is with in my realm of XC riding and will have some time to get some seat time on it. I'm really pretty excited to do a XC build. I plan on taking it out for a couple of rides to see how the bike does, then totally take it down and hang some good parts on it. Chris expressed some intrest in doing a motor build on this one. I'm going to get on the horn to see what everyone thinks a good XC motor should be. I think a good port, a mega cycle cam, single exhaust, MAYBE a FCI intake. I'd really like to build a motor that will mellow in the low end, but will scream on the top when needed. My first build of a 105 bore venom 14.1 piston, x-2 cam, Bo's tack head, FCI, single exhaust, and stock stroke. I thought it was PERFECT for the trails and owned everyone in the open fields.I plan on keeping it simple, hanging the right parts, keeping the weight down, to make a good bike that Chris can hop on and beat on for years
He let you win Aaron...
