Well, I'm just about done with my new bike. It's a 2006 Iron Horse Yakuza Type R.

I have a few adjustments to make, like rotating my chainguide counterclockwise some, and another few things here and there. I want to get a matching azonic outlaw front wheel soon aswell.

Here she is:

My old bike:

 

[hungryleprican]

you like 40's and mtx's don't you

of course its probly just brought over from your old bike

 

[metalhead119042]

Ha, yeah it was brought over. Craig, whatever happened to the wheel problem? Did the shop fix it?

 

[tlproject7]

i really like that iron horse

 

[Bicyclist]

Definately a nice upgrade.

 

[dexterq20]

What's the new one weigh? Are the Yakuza frames pretty light?

 

[haromtnbiker]

I haven't wieghed it, but the stock 06 with similar parts (boxxer race) wieghs 42.9 pounds.

 

[SteezyWeezy]

the bikes are starting to grow on me, this is deff the nicer of yakuzas

 

[ktown.freeride]

shoulda kept the saints off of the bighit.

 

[blkmrkt91]

whats wrong with saints on big hits? oh and that iron horse is sick.... exactly how id build it if i were to cept with some OCT cranks and dhx 5.0

 

[ktown.freeride]

sorry, I meant he shoulda put the saints on the iron horse.

 

[nmn25]

I've always loved the yakuzas. However, that one has a sick build and looks super nasty. Yeah, matching wheels (maybe white in the future) and a dhx 5.0 would make that THE bike.

Sick bike dude

nice yakuza haro. you planning on racing up at sugar this year or what.

do the bolts on your 40 hit your downtube? If so buy those little round adhesive pads and put them on your frame so you save your paint and dents in the frame.

Wow, you're good. The bolts do actually hit the downtube. I guess I'll check out what you said, and maybe something else to protect the frame.

 

[dante]

nice setup! with those lighter tires, (and if you do lighter tubes) I'd be surprised if you didn't get sub-40.

 

[Red Bull]

may i suggest a slightly shorter shock?

nice bike dude

 

[haromtnbiker]

^ ^ ^
If I get a new rear shock (big chance I will) I would get an 8.75x2.75 dhx as the current manitou is 9x2.75 but Fox doesn't make 9x2.75

It should be fine clearance wise as the 07 models come with the dhx 3.0 or the vanilla r or whatever it is.



I rode the big today in my backyard. The frame feels so stiff compared to the flex chicken of the bighit. :biggrin:

dude instead of sticking little adhesive pads to your frame. why dont you get some different bolts with smaller heads, or just take a dremel or die grinder to the head. it will shorten the heigth of the bolt and you will still have plenty of surface for that 5 mm to grap ahold of, or whaterver size it is. just my advise instead of felt covered pads on a hot bike that that lthumbsdown:

its not the bolts that hit, its the actual crown where the bolts go in that hits. cant be prevented with out taking material off the crown.
