DESTROY

a couple weeks ago i went on an awesome couple hundred mile ride with fellow los dorados justin and a coworker/buddy cam. we explored a bit and found a rad camp ground. look, i took a picture of the dr there.

that was a super awesome ride, even though i kept running out of gas. at best, i could get just about 60 miles to one tank before hitting reserve. the stock tank is 1 gallon plus .2 for reserve, super tiny.

so yeah, i got an acerbis 4.2 gallon tank for it.

i knew i’d have to do something considering i’m doing the sheetiron 300 next month and wasn’t really keen on packing along extra fuel.
i miss the rad graphics on the stock tank, but, like i had to explain to some kids the other day, i enjoy riding the thing more than looking at it.

another complaint i had with the bike is that the $20 special fly bars that the previous owner had put on were quite low for stand up riding. with the amount of off road riding i know i’ll be doing, taller bars were pretty high on my priority list.
so yeah, i got some bars.

figured if i were going to replace the bars, i might as well go with oversized aluminum. that way if/when i drop the thing in the woods/on some rocks/on the track/in the street/wtf ever, i won’t have to worry about bent bars. plus they look cool.
sorry, no pictures on the bike yet.
they are pretty tall, perhaps too tall. i just got them on tonight, so i don’t have many miles on them yet, but i do need to do some adjustments here and there for sure. also, my maier hand guard bar things don’t really fit these bars. i do have the oversized clamps for them (they in that picture, fool), but the bars them selves are completely the wrong shape. lucky they are just metal and i have torches and vices and hammers and things. i’ll get them on there tomorrow.
