Send it on over anytime man, I can make it real nice. (www.NateTeebo.com)
I should submit my media to the vault as well I bet its considered acceptable work.
you do know that i run the Vault now, right? i'll pm you my email for google and i can upload it directly to the Vault. aw heck i'll just post it here. trailrider230s@gmail .com

i decided if i was going to rebuild the Mistress after the crash, i might as well go all out. ramp up the power and see what happens. I havent rode since April of this year, and i still havent lost my touch. i still can whip my 120 foot horse shoe butt, i think i improved my hill climb time by like 3 secs. it use to take 5.1 sec now its around 1.8- 2 seconds. just depends on if my tires are hooking up good.

good thing about my engine is, i have built 4 others exactly like it, and 1 of them i built in '05 is still running. the guy has been through 3 frames with the same engine. i guess i built it a lil too good. so i know if i sell my 230, whoever gets her can beat the ever lovin hell outta it and it'll take everything anyone can throw at it.

No but I do now

Wow that is intense, the motor just makes for a good block to modify? I'll have to check out more of your media. I have a spare engine almost just laying around if you need parts.

Here is my new Mistress. the Mitress 2.0, "Back in Black Edition" that most insane one i have built to date. i painted almost the whole engine matte black like the Harley engines.

$1600 bucks worth of fun eye tearing speed. according to the Garmin, i top out at 68.2 mph!! and i still have power and trottle to spare.

Other new pics in my profile.

Not bad for a little four stroker. I would probably eat it on my quadracer though it has the same color green frame as mine!

she not that little . she just detroyed a nice ltz 400 today. we raced around a pond we got down here and he couldnt touch me. i guess i forgot to tell him i was runnin striaght alky today. boy i'll tell you what, striaght alky scares the hell outta me. i think i might tone it down a bit. I cant believe how fast the throtle responds with it. the 28mm flatslide was enough of an improvement.

I just dont know about the alky. ohh and the key to my paint its neon green and it glows in the dark. i cant wait to put the green neon lights under her and light it up at night. thats gonna be the cherry on the cake.

Good job!

I was expecting a running video (at least to hear the grunt of the new engine), not a slide show, still Kudos for the restoration.
