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.

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. :roll:

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?

Seriously, anything else I should know?

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 :cool:
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 :D
oh, and they are damn uncomfortable, but only a pussy would use that as a reason not to ride one :wink:

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!!!!!!! :wink:

Let me try Danny.

I wasn't a big fan of school, I use to fuck off all the time. I know I can't spell or puncuate. But you know what, I don't give a monkeys ass! I took a little liberty. :roll:
