DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

that's a good looking ride! How old?

 

5 years old now, had it built for my 30th birthday, with the wait, arrived just before my 31st. Built by Dave Kirk of Kirk Frameworks: Bozeman, Montana. He came up through the ranks at Serotta before opening his own shop. Fantastic guy to work with.

 

My moots. Best bike I have/will ever own. Handbuilt Ti in CO.

 

Thanks, I'm loving how it's turning out but my wallet isnt!

I have shackles to go on just not sure I'll have then on all the time or not.

 

I bought some cheaper (Vault off Amazon) shackles to run on the front normally, my good Van Beest stay in the truck. If they disappear I won't be pissed off near as much. Was just wondering if you were going to add a color accent with the shackles. Still debating if I want to go through the effort of painting the inside edge of my skid, for now, will probably just throw it on the truck and see how much of the skid I can see now that the lift is on.

 

If you ever get an itch for something new, check out Carl Strong of Strong Frames, also up in Bozeman.

 

You can use a screw driver or an old punch to tighten it. I crank all mine down and leave a punch in the console for when I'm on the trail

 

That's a good idea, might go with a ziptie so I don't worry about not being able to get it open when I needed to.

 

Yes!! Come to the darkside @brucehutchinson!

Is the next meet up at Jambo?? Dont we still need to do an april meet up? Or was the mod day the meetup for the month??

 

New poll!!!! Go vote!

 

only date left for a meet is the 29th but may be wrapping up mods. There is this weekend also but I dont be there. Also, few of us are going to Bridgeport on Sunday the 30th.

 

I think a few of us are meeting up on the 30th at Bridgeport to just give the truck a little test and follow the Soft Roaders around

 

You can always use a crescent wrench. It's more to prevent theives

 

The lean is strong with this one.



(floor has a very slight angle, but this is still fairly representative of the angle.)

 

The Dakar's will fix that for sure

 

No doubt. Anything more than 2" will put a rake back in, will likely get around 2.2" from the Dakars after I pull the 3rd leaf.

 

i put mine in this weekend, i had a 1" add a leaf in mine after the swap out the backend sits about 1.5" higher now giving me a slight rake but i also have a heavy toolbox in the back of my truck.

 

So, ugh



I know I know, KBro2 or whatever, but I think they look pretty bad ass. Plus they fit the truck much better than the stocks IMO.

 

looks soooooo much better

 

i assume these 2 votes are Silverspool and myself
