Well, I got my graphics on, and the swingarm polished to about where I want it. I didn't want it mirror finish, and even if I did I don't have that kinda time lol. Came out good enough for me. I also don't like the gas tank graphics at all, so those will stay off. The silencer came in and looks really long! geez! The pipe should be here Friday along with the Rims. I put on a new OEM chain slider and I have new rollers to install. I have some ASV levers on the way, then get the tires put on the rims on Sat. Anyway still lots to do, here are some pics.
I'm trying to find black number plate backgrounds to install, but no luck. Rocky Mountain ATV has a cool attack custom thing you can order, but only for OEM plastics, they said it won't work on UFO plastics......

The part about working on OEM and not UFO plastics makes no sense to me. They're the same.
greylynn:
I just talked to Decal works and they said the same thing. My OEM plastics look exactly the same. I think I'll just order them from RMATV....

I think I'm going to take the Moose reed spacer out. Since this will be a duner, I want it to hit hard, and I want top end....Since I haven't even ridden the bike yet, I will have no idea if there is any difference. I think I will take it out and when I get to the dunes ride it normal, then put the spacer in and ride it again.....Any inputs?

I think I would leave it in. If I understand the theory for the spacer correctly, leaving it in will atomize the gas better. I ran my 250 without one, just figured it was a gimmic like the "roost boost" of the 80's. I came across one dirt cheep and brand new, threw it in the 97 KX250 and took her out on the track. NIGHT & DAY, smoother and quicker response. Corners that I had to feather the clutch through, she now pulls strong with no sore fingers. I have every intention of droping one in the Juggernaut. :-o
