First 50 miles on . All is well and noticable more power , noticable smoother shifting . The carb will have to tweaked no doubt . The forks are way too soft for my 200 lb body . Rear shock is ok, but really need to get stiffer springs in front. Also when no weight on front end the second it comes off ground there is a clunk from tubes hitting end of travel . Not cool.
But all in all for $1500 it's pretty impressive . Thinking most of running chassis is early 80's Honda . But just a guess after a bit more time with it . Also it looks like both brake calipers are replaceable by 2nd generation KLR 650 oddly enough. And yes I am gionna try as they are large Pistons aka more stopping power . I love to wrench on bikes as I been doing this for last 40 plus years. Here's pix after dirt road ride today . We have too much snow and ice yet to hit the trails .
