The bike above is mine. It is only lowered 3/4" front and back with adjustable links. I have the Roaring Toys ones that I tried first but it to low with me and my wife on it(me being over 300 with gear)I would sell those if you want them. Technically it is longer lowered but fractionally. If I put the fourteen fender back on it looks even longer.

Speedyme
The frame is a semi custom vinyl I had printed. It was a pretty tedious and time consuming application. I will post a pic. I agree it needed something, and not something blingy. I have not been sure if I liked it since the first side was done, and I think it is going to change. I want the green to be in it instead of just black and white. I couldn't get it with green before.

Rook
No frame cover and yes cool pattern. Scott has thought it was air brushed for like 2+ years.

MATTZ14, do you ever get any hassle from police for running around with the N20 on there?

Also, what kind of gauge is that you have in the frame hole?

No Rook, no problem with the bottles or with all the hand set individual LED's. Got pulled over last summer for more then double the speed limit and he never even mentioned them. LOL

The gauge is for the air compressor and reservoir that is on board that I built and posted pics of.

yeah? Cops never seemed interested in my "illegal" exhaust either and I've been stopped with it a few times always for speeding. I thought that N2O might be a little less likely to be overlooked since it is a race component, explosion hazard in and out of the engine and also, isn't that stuff a controlled substance as regards dental use and whipped cream propellant?

serious question.

No Rook n2o is not a controlled substance,they infuse it with a deterrent so it is not used for other purposes. Medical grade is different but will also work. LOL It is also not an explosion hazard as it enhances the burn, but is not considered combustible on it's own. Basically it cools the air and packs more air into the combustion chamber, that's why you have to increase the fuel.

hmmmm? verrrry interesting. LOL I think I have been corrected on this a while back. Perhaps it was you. I think I am going to get that Dynotune system.

I really am not a fan of the Dyno-Tune system without a window switch or a WOT switch. It is to easy to hit the limiter on these bikes and that makes it go boom with N2O.

I know I will be opening up a new money pit if I go with nitrous. Is a window switch the same thing as a progressive controller, more or less?

No, a window switch and a progressive controller are very different. Controller is much more.

I'm guessing by the name, a window switch is something that only allows the nitrous to flow within a safe window of rpm?

Exactly. Progressive changes it through the activation

Your welcome. If I had run mine at Maxon or now in Ohio I would sell you mine. That is the only reason I put N2O on it. Just in case I go through all that trouble then not make the goal. I would have one more ace in the whole. Need something to offset my manly figure. LOL Bottles are empty right now.

excellent...I know who to ask now. that would be the reason I would actually need to use N2O as well. I have a lot more than I can handle for all of my riding but if I go for top speed, I'd be on the spray. Other than that, it would be fun to install and play with. I wouldn't mind riding around with the system on the bike even if it wasn't used on a regular basis. It's definitely a conversation starter.

I lowered mine so I could have more of my feet on the ground. I am not height challenged, just short legs.
