Message: [QUOTE="the_monk, post: 1033661, member: 55757"] Healing up well. Most things are ahead of the new and improved schedule and I should be back in the saddle in April. Just ordered the rod, crank bearings, oil seals, and other bits and pieces to do the bottom end. Guess I'll go ahead and keep the Kwaker for another few years. I think it is going to become a dedicated MX bike when I finally pull the trigger on a 450. So far, I'm in for about $550 without buying a new crank. That includes a "new" sleeved Millenium cylinder (big 'ol gouge in my current one), top end kit w/forged piston, all bearings, new rod, all gaskets, and a new "bottom/mid" reed. With the new suspension and wheel bearings last fall, all I need now is a freshened up fork and shock and it'll be brand new. I might just have to buy some new plastics, graphics, pedals, and levers to make it look and feel new, too. I talked with James' buddy. He'll be good to me. The tranny still shifts very positive with minimal slop and no false neutrals, but I'll have him go through all that while he's in there too. As a side note, I just bought my kiddo a (used) KTM Pro Sr 50 so he can start his illustrious MX career. We'll be heading there as soon as he gets it. [/QUOTE]
