Paul’s Universal XL100 Project
Here an update again, not a lot happened but some changes were made:
- Sportster gastank with high flow petcock, "Half" Frisco, mounted on top of the backbonewith a piece of Universal Solex handlebars. - Seat, still waiting for the Biltwell seat so I cut the original seat and made it a bit shorter and more comfortable than the diamond Alu plate that killed my back for some weeks. - New front inner tube, cause I managed to make a hole in it while putting it on the rim.
Things to do:
- Exhaust, seat, seatmounts, jiffy, paint (or no paint), forward controlls etc etc.
We will keep you informed about the project, tips & tricks are welcome but not needed with wrench guys like Philip & New kid on the block Boyd.....
Loza in for X-Games
Kyle Loza will be making his debut in the X-games in Carson, CA with his new trick, the Loza Volt. The trick is very similar to the X-Games winning Carolla that Chuck Carothers pulled a few years back. If Kyle can pull this one, he is almost guaranteed a medal. Check out www.EXPN.com to get a preview of the trick.
Cheers,
