Wider 18" Excel rim with applicable Scorpion spooned on.
Stayed with the stock drum, as it'll likely be strong enough to lock when we're ready to go sideways.
Oh yeah failed to mention. My friends all kind of decided to build cheap dirt trackers so we could go out to our semi-local, up and coming dirt track north of the city. Cheap! f--k forgot that part. Now I have to learn to slide this thing with the added threat of dropping it when its worth more than my truck.
The aluminum swing arm is made in Thailand. I figured it was worth the risk. When I emailed to ask about fitting it to the XS, the guy said they shut down the shop for 5 days because Sepang is hosting the MotoGP. Can't be all that bad if they're hardcore MotoGP guys. It's a nice quality unit.
Anyways, all cleaned up, new shoes in there, all new bearings and hardware. New seals, axle, levers and custom wheel spacers. Added needle bearings and proper seals to the swingarm pivot. Not big huge dollars, another 1500 or so here, but nice light and tight.
Try to imagine a nice set of Ohlins on there as opposed to the ones shown. I promise, we'll do something about that soon.
