Background
black themed bike…and that model has a zillion wheel spokes and is just too “out there.” The conversion can be
made in about 3 hours. The only hard part is whacking off junk on the rear seat loop. Please note, the loop stays put. You don’t have to paint the body because it comes in orange. Black or white bodies are optional for a tiny up­charge. If you are going to paint your body, order it in white.
Building tips
Here are some things I did to my showcase bike that you may want to do too.
Front brake caliper, remove black paint and polish
the aluminum
Get new spokes-they are cheap from 650 Central*
(about 30 bucks per wheel).
When your wheels are apart, paint the inside of the
rims and hubs for an extra touch of color
Front rotor, have Kevin Rickbeil* drill and swirl
polish the rotor face
Buy shocks with different colored bodies and
springs, all chrome stock shocks are boring
* see suppliers list

Michael is a Mike’s XS dealer and I prefer dealing with him
because he will actually talk to you, they won’t.
