Title: Custom S&M DirtBike
Post by: Glen on January 12, 2011, 05:21 PM: Its finally arrived, almost 3 months since ordering it but its here!
Dirt bike with LTF geometry, I didnt like the high 9" stand over and long back end of the standard dirt bikes and the LTF felt amazing, so it made sense to get the thicker gauge stronger tubed dirt bike built to feel like the LTF.

Head tube badge, capped stays, custom serial tag, custom clear red finish, built in USA :daumenhoch:

Ill get more pics when its built and ready

Title: Re: Custom S&M DirtBike
Post by: SaMAlex on February 28, 2011, 10:47 AM: Glen, how come you wanted the non tapered forks? Just interested to know why you'd rather have the older forks. I have got a couple of sets of the old forks but they are both used, and one has brake mounts.

What happened to the non tapered pitchforks you sent me that Winstanleys link to? Surely had them in stock if they listed them on their site!!!! haha
Title: Re: Custom S&M DirtBike
Post by: SaMAlex on February 28, 2011, 11:16 AM: The only thing I liked a bit more on the non tapered forks was the drop outs were a bit bigger so the peg didnt hang off the side. But then again, the peg clears the fork leg better on the tapered ones. And they are lighter, and look better, and its not really a problem having the peg overhanging the dropout a bit.

I wonder if there is some kind of swap we could do here. You have 2 pairs of tapered forks, one with brake mounts. I have 2 pairs of non tapered forks, one with brake mounts ........ ?

Post by: kev-s on February 28, 2011, 04:01 PM: alex/glen do you want to do a swap of your brake mount xlt's for my non brake mount xlt's?
Title: Re: Custom S&M DirtBike
Post by: kev-s on February 28, 2011, 04:14 PM: ok cool :daumenhoch:

im now using a front brake and ill doubt ill go back to not having one so i want to try and get a set of xlt's with mounts as my volume forks with mounts weigh 3.5lbs :'(
