I emailed the company (from Ebay) about a week ago and got no responce. They are from china, so not sure if they didnt understand it or they are blowing me off.

What size sprockets? 14/36 (2.57) or 15/38 (2.53)? I don't know why, but the bigger set seems like it would have less stress. However the smaller (14/36) has a slight more grunt and ground clearance. 14/36?

Gunny

whats are you running for tires? Size? You  ever ride dirt trails or strictly sand.  I've got less mods than you & pull 15/36 & its less shifting on the trails. Plenty of TQ to lug it down if needed.  The 36 aids on swinger clearance for sure

I've got one off triple buff bead to bead 8 paddle edges on 8x7 blue labels on sand. On dirt I run 22x9 GNCC's on stockers. I've played with gearing quite a bit and know that I would never ever run higher then a 15/38. I like torque and quick throttle response, high way gears are just that, highway gears. I'm an aggressive rider, sand, dirt, trails, or whatever and I need the grunt. Put me on the line next to a build exactly like mine except 14/36 on mine and 15/36 on the other, I'll win every time. I know this for a fact. One tooth could mean the difference of winning and losing. Example, Idaho Rally last year. Bikes Colorodo700 and mine. Thunder hill. I was running 14/36, pulled Aaron by over a bike and change. I wasted a sprocket and changed to a 15/38, I couldn't pull away from Aaron after that. That one iddy biddy change up cost me a bike length. I'll most likely go 14/36 and call it a day, less centrifugal force.

Gunny only lets me win to get a long look at my sweet ass

[preddy08]

Slight difference between the old plastic and the new

[Spartan]

Where'd you get the fenders and price?

[preddy08]

Cheap cycle parts. Shipping was 70 bucks and came in a box Maggy and family could fit in

Total was under 500 for the SE2 plastic

Those look so purdy. Mike wont want to ride with how new this is gonna look

[Gunz]

Im gonna cartwheel it on the first ride, so I dont have to worry about it......

[preddy08]

I'll fly to Oklahoma, fix it, and charge it to the Gunny's bike needs a mechanic fund.

Did you get a new tail piece?
