So I got a new dirt bike. Well, new to me, at least.
So it was time to unload Trusty, my ever faithful XR400. But Rex twisted my arm and talked me in to a sumo conversion. Parts ordering has commenced.
After years of dirt use it was pretty funky and beat up, so a full strip down/paint/wash up was in order.
Trimmed some plastics back to knock of some visual bulk. Pretty happy with the look. DRZ headlight I had will do just right.

Trimmed:
Then my good pal Rex talked me in spending some more money. CRF250R mufflers. Not too bad at $110 off fleabay. I swear the pair of these feels lighter than the single stock muffler.
Pretty pleased with the look and very pleased with the sound! Quiet deep rumble at idle, but they bark like hell when you rap it.
They're just kinda flopping about at the moment.
Just decided to do this about a week ago. Been piddling in the shop and snapping shitty cellphone pics. I'll try to do better.
Oh yeah, and these beauties are on their way from Racing Geek :thumbsup:
Part of me wants to black em out, another part of me wants shiny rims. We'll see where we end up.
