The base motor is a GPX160 and I have a TB full skirted kit on it. I don't know if they even sell this kit anymore.

The wheels are, believe it or not, Stock CT70 steel stamped wheels. I had them balanced up a while ago and I get no shimmy shakes at all with em. The forks are 26mm Lifans that I resprung and has the front disc brake on it. I just put on new brakes and bearings in the rear hub this morning.

As for handling...It is mostly straight line stuff...and again, we were pitched downhill on this speed run. It handles fine...running 120/90-10's front and rear Micheline Boppers on it. Going back the other way it topped at 73 so it makes a big difference.

I am SO pleased with this motor...starts up on one or two kicks every time I take it out. I have to think its pushing out a real 17 rwhp. Stock configuration on it other than a lightened flywheel and slinger, and I have it ported. Running a mikuni VM26 606 on it.
