Is that 200cc total, or each fork? I want to pick up some fork oil and change it before I ride it...

I'm ordering up some stuff today, like a big bottle of Locktite blue...from China of course, for less than half the price of buying it here...sad but true.

I think I'll buy my fluids here however

I saw some cool LED turn signals in fake carbon fiber that looked kind of cool.

What's a good pipe for the hawk? I'm assuming it'll fit the enforcer too.

200 cc or ml per fork just did mine, the rice oil that is in it from the factory is pretty nasty. mine came out black and thick.

If you have trouble finding fork oil, Automatic Transmission Fluid works fine. Makes a big difference in the way the forks work...ARH

Jerry, the bike looks great without the decals. I want to do the same to mine. What did you use to remove the decals, the spray on decal remover or did they just peel off? Did you need to apply heat?

Finally got a chance to put 125 jet in it,wished i had a size smaller but after the k&n it ran terrible,also fixed my mistake on the digital cluster for the neutral pin just had to bend it a little.I didnt follow direction and check it before i put it back together.No big deal just had to pull in the clutch to start it.

I think it would be too much black. Looks good like it is IMO

Did not like the way I mounted the exhaust the first time,put some time into raising the exhaust without crushing the pipe,now it lines up with the frame hole.All black look you'll be the judges.it's a 2015 it came with chrome wheels.
