Looks like ya gots the long plates there -- 7.2" o' travel.
Rode with a guy the other night that has the same. Veeeerrry nice.

good thing there is a bend in the TT to address standover

Nice ride! Why did you have to wait so long?

 

[chicodude]

what, you couldnt afford bigger rotors?

 

[Islandmudpuppy]

To both Chico and bigmike, money was a HUGE issue. I am looking to upgrade the rotors asap, well see how it goes. I have family responsablities that come before the bike....gotta feed the kids.

Yeah, I sold the Instigator last winter and had the money put aside for the frame....but we were moving and...well....had to put the money towards that. But now I have a sweet ass bike.

 

[chicodude]

[JRB]
