welcome to the site..

You have our apologies  regarding having the registration shut down for a while..   the spam was soo bad we couldnt keep up with it, and they were going right around our blocks...

why using the 94 suspension on the 99?

well, it all started when i picked up an IMS desert tank super cheap on ebay. was going to mod my 96 frame to use it but found it was cheaper to get the right frame. than it was down hill and a learning curve. everything i had to get, i purchased next to nothing. so i swapped everything to the 99. i like it. oh, the bike started out a 94 but someone screwed the frame up pretty bad. picked up a 96 frame off craigslist for cheap. i trail ride alot of trails here in Michigan and have ran out of gas way to many times. hence the IMS tank...lol
