Well here are some photos of the progressover the summer and fall.

1) Bender pipes with new flanges welded on, manifold edges machined to prevent pipe damage, powder coated & installed.

2) Carbon Tech Reeds installed.

3) Carbs Cleaned and ready to go.

4) Fitch Fuel catalysts in the tank.

5) C&A Pro AD Skis installed (Thanks Rich)

6) M10 Installed, calibrated & adjusted (Thanks to Rich again!)

7) Team Roller Secondary (from last year).

8) Oh and I forgot the Seat Jack for when my sweetie wants to come for a ride (I'll have to watch the throttle!!!).

All I need is some snow so I can experiment with some clutching advice from Turk. Going to start with Turk's Primary recommendartions and see how they work with the Team Roller. May use Turk's secondary setup recommendations as a comparison and then see if I can tune the Team Roller accordingly. We'll see!

Do you think the powder coat will hold up to the pipe heat? I wnat to powder coat mine, and they are ceramic coated already. Maxdlx
 
It was late when I posted this thread and my brain was obviously in neutral (maybe Park)!! Happens more each year it seems......

The pipes are ceramic coated not powder coated. Powder Coating would not survive the exhaust heat. You can get quite a selection of ceramic colors now.

In terms of sitting up higher, I would say it does but not so that it looks obvious. The bumper is at about 23" with the track just touching the floor. Probably at about 21" with no rider on it. With my 185 lbs on it it sits at about 18" which is close to the 5" - 6" prescribed sag from FAST.

The stroke of the suspension makes the Proaction seem like my 1971 TNT 340 (ouch!!).

Can't wait for the snow now.
