| This project turned out really well. It's got pretty zippy performance and the sturdy frame and long-travel suspension make this a fun machine. Stock, it was very noisy with a lot of vibration. Now it is smooth and quiet. We will get plenty of data on performance over the next few months. We'll be taking it apart and cleaning up a lot of detail and painting/powder coating all parts and adding graphics. It will be auctioned off at the annual Cattle Baron's Gala with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. Many thanks to all who contributed to this project. We will create a web page for it on each of our sites - see www.nogas.us, www.aceaa.org, www.zwheelz.com | |
