Mines going to be the same thing except different wheels obv. $2700 for my bike $450 street legal kit $1000 rims/tires/brakes $400 powder coating $500 exhaust plastics random shit… id say buy a already tagged ktm 525 for that price instead… I droped everything off at powder tech today. EVERYTHING possible on the frame/motor is going flat black. I will have it back end of next week. As for my valve cover - just wait and see :cool ---

That bike is going to look sick murdered out! Are you using the stock fork and suspension or sending it out to get worked on. Im pretty sure supermoto bikes use different ride height, dampening and rebound rates and what not. ---

> [@Norwood](#): > > That bike is going to look sick murdered out! Are you using the stock fork and suspension or sending it out to get worked on. Im pretty sure supermoto bikes use different ride height, dampening and rebound rates and what not. Yea they lower the bike a bit and the suspension is way different then stock. Many people use the stock for a street fighter tho. If i were rich id have it sent out but for now its staying the way it is. I will have it re valved for my weight and change the rebound rates some point over summer. Thanks guys, i hope to have the motor back together and on the frame later tonight ---

Thanks guys, i hope to have the motor back together and on the frame later tonight Nice cant wait to see the progress… i thought about putting street tires on my bike because i dont realy race anymore but it would be weak on the street. So there would be no point in making it road legal. Drive past my house on a sunny afternoon though and you might see some nasty highchairs and spreader wheelies :nod ---
