Thanks! I was coming *from* the coast. Froze butt and fingers off that day - it was about 50-55ºF all the way from SF to Stewarts Pt. It got considerably warmer as I went inland and, even though I had thought multiple times about turning around and heading back into goattrail land, I decided not to go back there that day. I'll be back when its warm again. Right now I'm planning on riding around Napa and East Bay until it warms up or until after I figure out my heating situation... yes yes, I'm a wuss.
Once upon a rainy Saturday morning: I'm not completely sure how I fit that thing into an elevator on the way up, because Mark from CC Rider had to do some serious wiggling on the way down. New turn signal (these are Kellermann LED lights) + bars + bark busters peeking:
WE just built this one for Brandy Bauman ,2009 SM610 with new 21 In frt wheel Te brakes and new Mt21 Pirellis,hadto makee an adjustable side stand,lots of fun.billf www.billshusky.com
Looks good Bill. You should have just traded me the full 18/21 setup from my TE :-) Those are good looking tires.
Nice! I like the adjustable sidestand...it looks like my cane Any clearance issues with the 21" on the SM front end? What size MT21 do you have on the back? I've yet to try out that big ol' rear tire I got from you a few weeks ago, but it'll be on there for Thanksgiving WoodsChick
tires I believe its a 130/80X17 ,blows out nice on the wide rim.Brandy bought the bike with both set ups for quick switch to Motard.billf
STD We just run them pretty much flush at std height seems to work,we have dropped thenm 1 inch with this set up with no problem.
Interesting, I've read that a 21" wheel on the SM forks would allow the tire to contact the underside of the fender, and not just slightly, but dangerously. So did you use TE forks? Did you shorten the travel of Sm forks? Or is the previous information I read, not true? Or something else?
Toddler!! Good to see you and your 610 out there having fun You need new friends, though... WoodsChick
Don’t be mad at him Most non believers scorch their hands when they touch such a divine piece of machinery
Brown Mountain NC Steep inclines, won't get past 2nd gear, rocks, a 3ft deep mud puddle with a bump in the middle and lots of switch backs all the way.
