was that gusset you drilled into already there or did you weld that in?</end quote></div>
Oh, and that's the stock 230 shock, stock 230 swingarm, everything is stock. It was one of my first mods.
It looks totally different now. I welded in another piece of metal with a few holes drilled in it because I wasn't sure where I wanted the top of the shock to be. The best pic I have on hand it this one:

I have a cobra...and its loud...its RAELLY loud when you take out the silencer. With the cobra make sure the little screw that holds the silencer is tight it'll rattle off and then you'll be trying to find a silencer on the trail[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img].

I'm running a Yamaha Wolverine/ Warrior Supertrapp IDS2 pipe. I like it a lot. I haven't had a chance to tune it and stuff yet since the pipe is tuneable but as is I am making a spec more low end, if anything at stock levels of sound. Plus it looks BA!

Yeah it really was! Sometime here when I have some time, I'll work on seeing if I can get the allen head screws that hold on the end cap to loosen up so I can add the two extra discs that came with it to see if it adds a noticeable amount of power. I know I can order more discs too if need be for like $12 for 12 or something.
Once I do that I'm thinking I'll get the dial-a-jet system since the directions for that say that you should have the wheeler running lean when you install it since its adding fuel and I should be running lean when I add some discs. So ideally when I add the discs and install the dial-a-jet, the dial-a-jet will be right in the middle of its adjustment range and I'll have a perfectly tuned little machine.

You can see a lot of pics of my wheeler in the last few pages or in my gallery, and I want to take my wheeler to some sort of MX track once it warms up a little. I've never done that and it looks like a blast! It'd be fun to find some local casual racing series though!
