Here is my next project bike.. Now finished

I got done with my first Gen 1 bike about 2 1/2 months ago and had a guy come along who couldn't live without it. He gave me the 500 in the pic plus 1600 cashola for my AF. The AF needed a case half replaced too! That would have cost me a few hundred if I would have kept it. He was happy as hell with the deal and I smiled all the way to the bank. Anyways the new donor has a pretty nice FMF on it, check out the pic of the pipe, is this extra piece factory or is it a patch. I have never seen a pipe with it but it looks factory to me. Now I have got my eye out for another gen 1 chassis. I will let you know when I find the one! I had such a good time with the first build I want to do it again. Let me know what you think about the pipe. Thanks

As ISBB says, that is the factory gusset that you will only find on a Gnarly. it also happens to be the source for the enevitable cracking you will get.

Hmmm.... Interesting crack on the doubler.

Mine finally gave out two months ago. Started in front of the doubler, went down and tuned inside and ended half way down. Would have been an inch or two shorter but I wasn't done riding yet.

Here is the new body donor.. I got another good deal on this thing. Now I NEED to get in touch with ShanMan!!! If you're out there I have sent you 3 PM's with no reply. I NEED a Gen 1 kit. So Shan if you're reading this or if anyone knows the Shan, have him get in touch with me.

Here it is, I finally got a chance to finish it up. I love these Gen 1 bikes. I took it to the welder Friday afternoon, put it together Friday night. Rode it all day Saturday with no problems!!

That is a nice bike and a nice view from the house too it looks like.

Thanks guys I am totally pumped with how this one turned out. Travis you're right, I love this place. I know this is totally off topic but check out the view from the front of the house!!

Put a 18" on the A/F, and sell me your house...

I do like the TeemTrubble 18" and 20" wheel treatment

and...congrats on another 1st gen build!

smokindodge · Post by **smokindodge** » September 15th, 2008, 1:47 pm

Why the 18"? I have one sitting in my garage that I was going to find a bigger rotor for and put a paddle on. Is there a reason for the 18" or just looks?

That view is awesome. Like a picture from a plane or something. Crongrats on the bike and the home.

Do you have a guest room with that view?

ShanMan · Post by **ShanMan** » September 16th, 2008, 12:46 pm

speaking of an 18"...anybody want an 8 blade paddle tire (Sand Pro) with one ride on it (read BRAND NEW). $20 plus shipping if you do.

Nice place

smokindodge · Post by **smokindodge** » September 17th, 2008, 8:48 am

Thanks for the nice words guys! That place is actually my Dad's, I am but a wee lad yet, but I think I will be in the will for the house and land..ha ha

There is some kick ass riding in the mountains you see in the pics. That's where I broke in the latest gen 1 last Saturday. Best part is you can ride right from the house!
