20's are the bomb provided you have the tires with the thicker sidewall for the sharp rocks![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I am also a fan of that Slime stuff... Picked up a HUGE nail once, pulled it out didn't even have to plug the hole, still holding..

PRM makes a nice rear skid at a decent price, at least they used to...........

Right now the rear wheels are off, I just put new bars, and mocked the plastics up on my lunch break (im 5 mins from work and i just couldnt wait when I saw the fedex notice..).

I dont have any mounting hardware for the fenders, and the gas tank bolts are half stripped. I'm hitting the hardware store on the way home to load up on fender washers and metric hardware. You'll get some pictures late tonight or mid saturday..

Anyone got a spare rear caliper?

Yeah I really like the 20's but I still want to get the rear sprocket and rear brake rotor skid protectors for those ooopsie moments on the trails.



mjlar94 we still need those photos!</end quote></div>


Mine didnt come with the rear caliper. Maybe one day I'll get one, but not really that big of a deal. So, I just took off the rotor and the rest of the rear brake stuff and made a skid plate out of angle iron to protect the sprocket only. A skid plate is a must have for sure!

I couldn't wait so I took some pics of the mock up:

Still wish I went with the chevy-orange maier color, but man it looks good!

That slime sounds like good stuff!

The klaws are 2 ply sidewall, 6ply on the tread. I haven't had any trouble out of the dunlops I had before, they were even thinner. I did notice my rims are getting all beat up from the rocks. No point in even trying to keep them nice looking.... Probably will end up painting the front and rears to match each other instead of shelling out another $100 for new front rims. We'll see how it goes I guess.

I bought the tractor tubes at lowes and used them in my front tires, works like a charm, but its 20$ a tube..

Looks good! Not too sure about the front piece with the big holes in it, but its better than an old cracked up one. [img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

I'd get a kn filter. They flow the best,,, maybe not protect the best, but good enough.

55 degrees here n no rain in sight and I still can't ride, lol.
