Default My old "new" SM KLX

Thought i share some pics of my finally finished bike,
i decided to go SM with the option of going back to stock
and dirt, change of setup takes about 30 minutes.

After dealing with one stuck screw in the hub (i hate this screw,
i'll keep it as a reminder what a pain it was to get it out) i finally
put the last pieces together and took the bike for a spin.

Highway, NO WHEEL WHOBBLE (yehaaa), but the speedo is off
unless the bike really does 95 ... i highly doubt that

No cutting/drilling was done to the bike

Pics:










Time to ride



PS: I need to get rid of those signals in the back

Well when i bought the domain back in 2001 i had the choice of
paying 39.99 EUR per month for an .AT domain or 4.99 for an .DE domain,
so the choice was easy
