you gotta make the blaster seat mount up now... that looks good.


i saw your glasswork on the x2 in person the other day... its looking good even though you say you suck at glasswork. you don't need to pay tommy for that... just do it yourself, its not hard. the sanding is the hardest part.

all most got it done and running tonight. rizzo put a timing advancer in befroe i got the motor from him. well bolted it all in exhaust all done tank in batt tray and batt in ele box mounted line runs,bars,start/stop,throttle. go to start it and it just cranks no spark. ok swap out the box (i only set up like 100 of these ove rthe years) figure i may have pinched a wire or somthing. nope new box still no spark. pull the stator. rizzo put the advance on backwards lol. never in my life have i seen this done lol. .i knew i should of checked it before i put the dam ski all together. waisted all kinds of time dicking around with it.

RIZZO DONT USE ANY TOOLS !!!!!!

just unscrew the grips(4 hex key bolts)... they are basically brand new. i'll put them back on the shelf.
bars do look pretty good though.

i thought you meant you fired up the roundie last night when you said it was loud.

go to the ramp today. it was 60 degrees at 430 this morning its got to be pretty warm by this afternoon.
