That's cool... very exciting..

I forgot to mention that the suspension is finally done. Sandblaster referred me to Oscar Cota (USMC 500), who referred me to N2Dirt Suspension and Brian Bolding. I was originally going to do Ohlins TTX suspension, but Brian has had some bad luck with them and is having a hard time getting parts to fix the issues. He suggested a different solution, which involves a conversion to the front forks and extensive work to the rear shock. I'm going to leave you with a bit of cliff hanger because I don't have pictures of the forks, and everything comes in on Monday. For now, here is the shock. It's a heavily modified 2017 KX250F shock with Kashima coating on the body and DLC on the shock shaft. I can't wait to see it in person.

Ok,,, I tried to get the Kashima coating and it was absurdly expensive..
They wanted me to send it to Japan.... NO....
How did you get it done and what does it cost?
