You painted the freak or square?

I'll need a new water box in the near future, originally I planned on a stock RN box but with how much a good used unit costs I'm thinking about the Xmetal, how do they fit?

puss, no wonder health insurance is so expensive. Focus a little more on your core when you work out.

You can modify the stock exhaust to work as well as most aftermarket pipes if you know somebody that will weld aluminum and stainless, there have been a couple threads describing it. Personally I would not spend very much on modding a 650sx but you definitely need a stainless impeller if you...

Sweet. I ride the reservoir where most of that was filmed and have thought about bringing plywood to put down for jumping those points.

I ran one at 260-270lbs, it worked well for me with a -4 pole and short steering.

Here's another pic of that RN and a template if anybody wants it.

I've had both and really the only things I didn't like about the Riva was that it made a pain to pull the head and installing it perfectly is critical. If it were me I would spend the money on gas.

Bumping your compression a bit would be the cheapest way to get a little better bottom end snap. The B-pipe may have slightly better bottom end than the Red Pipe but overall the performance isn't very different. EDIT: If it were me I would buy a girdled head and have it ported, not sure on...

The distance between the turn plate and steering cable mount is about 2" closer on the 08+ pole so you'll need to use a newer steering cable or find a way to move the cable mount.

SXRs are gas hogs compared to just about any other standup.

Put the spring in, stock cast pole bottoms and pole mounts crack easily when the pole bolt is tightened like that.

That looks like the clutch side, not flywheel side. I'm guessing that when you landed you had the throttle on and it broke a chunk off a clutch plate.

Definitely a Riva Red pipe (cast wet pipe)

I tried some Oak Creek Brewing Co. Nut Brown last week while I was in Arizona, it was okay but was a bit on the sweet side and lacked carbonation. Today I had an Alaskan Freeride APA and a Pike Brewing Co. IPA with lunch. I really liked the Alaskan APA, I think it's the first APA I've had...

Some people (like myself) are harder on grips than others. I tried every tactic I've heard of and my grips still broke loose.

I ran some lock-on mtb grips on my ski for a while, I liked the clamping mechanism better than ODI's because the grips didn't have slop in them. The grips weren't big enough for my large hands and they didn't have stainless hardware. You can get cheapo bike grips for about $6 shipped now.

I broke my HF vice doing an impeller once too, they saw me coming in with it and had a new vice sitting on the counter for me before I even talked to the cashier.
