P,
You are correct the only other one in Canada. Although I am now in Calgary. Actually yours might as well be the only one as no one seems to believe mine actually exists. I think there were only 20 M9's made and coupled with Aaron's Legacy it seems Bigfoot and blue cheese are more believable.
After a hiatus of a few years I got the bug this past weekend and did a couple of runs at Silver Star. xy9nine is correct this bike is still way a head of it's time.
My bike my pics but that is about it. Sad. I sure nobody gets burnt. This bike has enough history to tarnish its legacy all on its own which is unfortunate as it is probably one of the best kept secrets as well.
P we never did get a chance to hook up but if you make out this way in the...
Sandwich,
You talking about that sears BS? That for sure wasn't me. I posted this on E-bay. I was originally asking 6k(included extra monkey lite dh, pedals...etc). I had only one guy who contacted me from Europe and he wasn't prepared for the shipping costs. I re-listed for 5400k...
xy9ine,
Your are correct this was the other bike sold in Vancouver. I am now in Calgary. The WB is factory set to 180mm so the HA and overall height is pretty comparable. I was guessing based on my last discussion with Aaron around 30 units but I guess that was before everything went sideways...
You are in luck. The el jefe uses standard mx parts. I used to have an el jefe and if I recall correctly they use showa parts. The same as what comes stock on either cr80 or xr 50 honda dirt bikes. I picked up a piston and seal kit for about 40 bucks a fews years back. It is one or they other so...
Hey xy,
Although I still have no time these days I did manage to get out on my lahar last weekend (seymour). I still have the bug to ride so next time you are heading out for local ride or even whistler maybe we can hook up. Two lahars flying by should certainly be enough to convert at least...
General Lee,
I agree with you 100% and it is a big deal especially going into this transaction under premise your are dealing with someone operating a business with the basics fundamental skills and objectives. I was trying to let people know what to expect as IMO this is not the case...
Ronson,
Unfortunately I do not have any new info for you. However, I have been your shoes. It took me over 10 months to get to my lahar from Aaron. I also resorted to getting Punter and rod to give him a little poke in the ribs to get my bike. During the process I did speak with Aaron quite...
As said before it has a steel swing with built in hanger. If there are no threads ( stripped out ) it is not the end of the world. If you are mechanically inclined, and it sounds like you are, you can tap it out one size bigger and then add a healy coil. You should be able to all you need for...
Hey Vitox,
I know your a suspension guru and appreciate your feedback. FYI my handle has nothing to do with my riding ability. Ever seen someone called Tiny?
Anyway the shock for sure seriously over heated. I agree it is unlikely to over heat to the point I discribed but I attribute it to...
I broke that bolt off too so don't feel bad.
If you look close at the stratos web site is says nitrogen somewhere. The literature I got said air. I spoke with their rep Catherine and she said to charge it with air. DO NOT use air.
I spoke with highly regarded motorcycle suspension tuner...
I am in the same boat, looking for a Ti spring for my el jefe.
Stratos one time had springs made from rcs but I think biggest they had in stock were 450#.
As was mentioned the avy should fit providing the free length is correct and you do a bit of dremel work.
I contacted rcs by phone a...
dw mentioned he bolted an avy piggy back to the Sunday. Anyone know what the result was? dw if your listening what damper would you run and why? +/- of the different characteristics would nice. Thanks
cheers
Have some fun
Needless to say I haven't heard from this clown since.
Thanks for the response .i have contacted my client he said he's ok with the price and he will issue to you a cheque of $1800 after you send the following info: your

I have 02 balfa bb7. I just recived my el jefe shock and it came with a 700lb spring. I originally had a 600lb fox rc. I gave them my weight, (225) riding style (DH)and weight of original spring but I can barely get the minimum sag even with very little air. It doesn NOT feel good. The 600lb fox...
