I left it at my buddy's house cause it has a bunch more stuff as you can imagine. I couldn't help it I bought a dnm nitrogen shock with full adjustability its just a bit shorter which is what it needed .I picked up a set of really nice forks that are 730mm long ,they are inverted and twice the size of those xr80 forks .Plus I get to go to disc brakes, im still going to build the xr80 forks because I have so many extras I am going to build another pitbike to sell to cover the cost of this one . I will have to change mounts thats not a huge deal .

Well the shock has been changed, supermoto rims and tires are on with drum brakes. The brakes were all messed up so i scrapped it and made the stuff myself. It looks good and stops better. Im still thinking which motor should go on here ,because the bike doesn't weight much i looking at a fireball anyway you look at it. I had to adapt quite a few things as well.Since i used the xr80 forks i had to use a longer brake cable . Listening to Weld i changed shock placement, i will be fine now. I think this bike will get the z155ho i just bought .

I'd love to see pics of the new shock placement.

1968 GTO (from your quote line) with the hood tach is my favorite goat. Send me a link if you have posted it on the site. By the time I was in high school, they were getting scarce.
