Nope, I'll just keep driving the same old piece of :pokinit: until it dies and I can't mod it or fix it.

Well, Dave had a bad weekend, but I got some stuff done.
I fixed my idler pully, the bearing was frozen (on the way back from MCR5) and that is why I lost power steering.

Jeremiah dropped off my tires mounted balanced & beaded.
Not sure if I'll still be parking in the garage though, might have to park in the back yard.

that's a nice brat there in that picture! your rig is looking good! i've thought about that bb balancing, so you take that nifty chart, weigh out the ounces, then how are you getting them bb's in there?... the valve stem is going to take awhile...

Yeah, but I have to disco it from the track and push it up another 2" for it to clear. :think:

Hell yeah, If I take off my front bumper it takes it from 80* to 85* but until I get something up front for protection, it stays. :_order:

For my tires it was 10oz, My cousin balanced them normally, then popped the bead, put in the BB's, and it rides perfect. The only vibration I get now is from my motor! I really wish I would have done this with my boggers. :yesnod:

so you first used lead weights to balance and then just added the BBs?

Exactly.
I expect the weights to get knocked off on the trail anyways, so when they do, the BB's are still there to balance the tire.

Just like BigMike said, it's like driving on glass.
