Default My New Toy

Hi everyone,

Had a few people PM me about this after I posted up my tow bar thread. Seems that there are a fair few PWRX'ers with off road bikes!

Here is my new toy...came up at the right price, with the right amount of mods that I was looking for. It's something different to my WRX too, which is good when I want to do something off the road rather than cruise around on the road

Basically I don't need to do a thing to it, apart from a few little bits n pieces to get her exactly the way I want.







Mods:

Aftermarket front bumper
Full length chassis skid plate
Rear sprocket/disk protector
IMS Roll Design pegs
IMS shift lever
Billet grille
Billet fuel cap
Trimmed plastics, originally white painted matte black
Narva LED rear brake light
Lightforce spot lights
Pro-taper bars
Reinforced frame (flat bar welded in around the top tube where the radiator mounts to).
Reinforced rear swing arm (flat bar welded in between the axle mounts)
Black powdercoated frame
Silver powdercoated swing arm and front suspension arms
Elka front coil-over shocks
Paddle tyres on original rear rims
K&N filter with pre-filter
Mikuni single flat-slide carb
Trinity 1 into 2 billet intake manifold
V-Force 3 carbon fibre reeds
Bored .030 and fitted with Wiseco pistons
Pro-circuit tuned pipes and mufflers (painted wrinkle black)
PWR Radiator
Adjustable timing plate
New sprockets, 1 tooth higher on front
New O-Ring chain
Durablue axle

In the pics, it had normal tyres on it, but they were borrowed from the original owners friend just so he could show the bike to people (i.e. test ride on the street). The bike came with paddles on the rear once it was sold.

YES, she needs some nerf bars....setup for dune and sand riding, for some reason those sorts of machines never have nerfs or plastics on them. Looks damn kewl, but for safety reasons, the nerf's are going to be added.

Sean, Clint, Bobbo and myself hit the dunes up at Ledge last weekend..











Needs a few bits and pieces done to it, to get it perfect....fit the rear brake light, some normal rear tyres on rims and rear caliper rebuild (its a bit leaky).

I'm also going to strip it down as much as I can without removing any major bits and clean her up (very hard to get the sand out even with a high pressure cleaner!)

If there is enough interest, we might organise a PWRX ride day somewhere

Nice bike mate, not a big fan of the front bumper but still awesome.
Yeah the sand around the carb and top of the block
Get some nerf bars, obviously you've heard some stories
