Well, my Gas Gas is almost ready. I put new tires and plastic on it this week. The plastic wasn't broken, just really faded and dry. The tires were dry-rotted and hard so they did really need to be replaced. The shock was a different story. I sent it to my regular suspension guy to see if he could fix it. There was oil leaking all over the place and he was going to try to repair it. After further inspection he told me he would do what he could but I decided due to the time constraints with DW coming up that I would look in to other options.
After some checking around, I found a couple of different ones available, but ended up going with the stock replacement as it is the most economical. I just hope that I don't end up having to rebuild this one in a couple of years and having to buy a new one again. I guess my great deal on my trials bike wasn't as good as I thought it was, but much of what I have done to this bike would have needed to be done to another used bike that would have cost me $500 to $600 more. But for right now I am just stoked to get to ride it and it should be ready to go at DW.
