new paint, black 721s laced on hadleys and a new 09 white fox 40 is on the way.....

 

[savage1]

Very nice setup. The bike will look legit with the 09' 40!

 

[Pip3r]

What is the story with the 5th Element?

Bike looks great and I like the hammock in the back year.

the hammock was the best $70 i've ever spent........popped it in between the clothes line the day i moved in there.....

as far as the 5th.....a good friend of mine used to work for progressive and set me up with this shock.....he's actually sending me another one with a different tune to try out.....it's been cool to play around with, and the shock rides amazingly well much to my surprise......i was skeptical, but what convinced me to put one on MY bike was riding HIS bike(with a 5th) for a run then getting back on MY bike(with a DHX) .....After that, I literally could barely ride my own bike.....it felt wallowy and unstable, just not very grounded.....

if you're curious at all, do a search and check out the extensive thread on the 5th's.....you can snag one online for like $75 and play around with customizing them yourself....if those shocks are truly set up correct they work really well....

Man that thing is sweet! What's the build like?

 

[buildyourown]

That's hawt.

I've been looking for a color for mine and that might be it just cause it would match my truck.

 

[Damo]

Looks awesome! Please don't fck it up by adding any white components (bars, stem, cranks etc...).

White bikes are sweet, just don't over-do it!

70 bucks for a hammock is a rip-off!

 

[mrpercussive]

that bike is hot... 'ive always had a soft spot for white bikes... XD

 

[Bikerpunk241]

Anyone know where I could get mounting hardware for a 5th? Specifically to fit a new demo 8? Would it work with the mounting hardware specialized has incorporated?

 

[cheetaprowlerDH]

wow that looks so much better than it did raw!

cant wait to see it in person man! we need to ride!


oh yes, im glad to see youre still rocking the Michelin decal on the swingarm:biggrin:
always good to have

oh i won't.....i could see how it would look lame if i put white codes, or white LG1 plastics on there, so.....everything else will be black.....

as for the hammock.....70 bucks is sort of a ripoff, but it came with a built in pillow....c'mon!!!

 

[Ian Collins]

Man that thing is sweet! What's the build like?

codes, sunline stuff....michelins 721s hadleys....i'll post pics when its done

 

[nugget]

Sweet ride. I think white grips would be a nice touch.

You don't have to convince me I have a Sunday tuned Swinger that works really really good on my Sunday. I just need a softer spring and I could end up riding that in stead of my DHX. As you wrote it feels really stable and less wallowy.

 

[sperkins]

looks fantastic and i love the white.

 

[stiksandstones]

Ian...

doubt you saw Jim Gaffigan on letterman the other night, he had a bit on hammocks, funny sh1t.

Your bike 'was' raw originally eh?

 

[RMboy]

Yes good call..That is beautiful mate!!!

just snagged it on youtube....haha.....that was great...."sporting goods section"....hahaaa

bike was raw and starting to look ratty.....fork and wheels are on the way.....i can't wait to ride

 

[Motoking16]

Finally a color that makes the DHR look good! SIC!...no white grips

 

[hucked2bend]

Damn, white does look nice! I am just about done building mine, which is raw. Was going to do bright, Kawasaki green to match my RFX, but may jock your style & go white?

 

[bizutch]

I see polished a polished Thomson stem & seatpost in your future. Polished bars, cranks & raw finish I9 wheelset on polished MTX rims....just sayin'.

 

[Motoking16]

Do it stu! Go white! Although Kawi green would be wicked!

 

[Ian Collins]

butch, i thought about polished, but that may be a little too loud(even for me).....plus i've had polished frames and let me tell you, at that point, i should have bought stock in mother's aluminum polish......it was a bitch to keep up!

 

[Bulldog]

Didn't anyone tell you black is the new white? J/k, that looks really nice mang.
