12453plastics and a new Clarke tank.
The sticker kit was done by Ride
Design. It also has a Renthal
Twin Wall handlebar and a
Works Connection clutch lever. I
also added GPI oversize
radiators to keep it cool.HOW’S IT GO?
The bike goes really well. I can’t
fault it. It has awesome brakes
and the suspension works really
well. It reminds me of when I
used to ride two-strokes as a kid
and I absolutely love it. I just put
a modern twist on it with better
brakes and suspension.RECOMMEND IT?
I would recommend the bike to
anyone. It’s just like being a kid
again. Getting involved in the
VMX community was the best
thing I’ve done. I’ve made a lot
of new friends and really enjoy
riding. There are races all
around Queensland and some in
New South Wales just about
every weekend. We are always
busy riding. The only thing you
have to look out for is getting
addicted. I now have about 12
VMX bikes that I’m currently
restoring and riding.
