Got my bike all back together with the pieces i have been making, along with the new paint,etc. Been riding it some and trying to dial in the new suspension geometry.
So far I am loving the new seat. It holds me in place and is very comfortable. No more sliding forward. I let a friend ride it and he loved how you almost sit in the seat, not on it.

few pics-

Nice! Way to set the bar. I hope this sits on a spinning podium and is the first thing you see when you walk in the house.

Super Awesome

Got to get the bike out and ride today. When i first got the bike back together with the new Scg forks, it handled like crap... ends up low tire pressure. Rode it a little this morning and then headed back home to check the bike out. Adjusted a few more things and then i was off, put 100 trouble free miles on it today. Running fantastic!!!



If the rain holds off tomorrow, ill put another 100 on it.

John, Marc's bike is a bit lower than stock.

Marc, every time I look at different front ends for my S2T, because I don't want to do another XB conversion. But then I see your bike again... who knows XD.
