Fair enough....but I won't have reason to suspect AJ's credibility, unlike someone who cannot even produce a picture of any build or bike after being called out numerous times to do so.Slow old Fart wrote:He said some years were significantly better than others, better get ready for some GEN 1 ripping.

I'll give you a hint if I took a picture of all my bikes you could not fit them in the picture or count them on both of your hands. The ? is how many RUN! that is where the problem is.Exnav wrote:Fair enough....but I won't have reason to suspect AJ's credibility, unlike someone who cannot even produce a picture of any build or bike after being called out numerous times to do so.Slow old Fart wrote:He said some years were significantly better than others, better get ready for some GEN 1 ripping.
SOF.....what's wrong with the Gen 1 besides it turns like a tank, vibrates worse than anything my wife has ever owned and is near impossible to get cool parts for anymore?Slow old Fart wrote:He said some years were significantly better than others, better get ready for some GEN 1 ripping.

I figured out why mine vibrated so bad, I just had the rod replaced and the old rod bearing pin was all pitted and scored up and had tons of slop... should ride super smooth when I get it back together
Coming from an '86 steelie (which turns like a chopper), I think my gen-1 turns alright, but also had great stability in the sand. there are pros and cons to every chassis change... I feel like the gen-1 was built for the sand, which works out since my gen-1 is now my dunes only bike.
about the only real con to the gen-1 that I know of is the lack of available aftermarket parts (body work in particular) and they are pretty ugly with the hockey stick sides
oh, and they are damn uncomfortable, but only a pussy would use that as a reason not to ride one

I do not have my conversion done yet but I already know what will be on the decals- CR500FE. All of you can feel free to use anytime you like. I know that you proud conversion owners, Gen 1 - Gen 4 can relate. CR500 is obvious and the FE stand for FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!
