I've got some of my parts, I just need some time to start getting things put together. I'm going to try and get a wide front end on my T Dub.

ATV wheel kit for TW?

Rode one exactly like this for a long time - but mine also had leather bags on the rear fender. Older days - very good days.

Great picture!👍🏻

I owned a 2003 yz250 years ago. I regret selling it. Great engine, tuned stock suspension was good enough for me. Easy to work on/re build etc…

The yz250x has my attention these days and I don’t mind not having electric start.

What Husky do you have? 350fe?
How do you like the Rekluse?

I looked closer and see it’s a fx350.
Nice bike, wbyfan

2009 Suzuki DL-650 I purchased new in 2010. It's worked out real well for me over the years. Comfortable, reliable, fast enough to keep me happy. Excellent range.







I try to make at least one "big" trip on it every year.

2004 Road King Custom. Bought it new and I’m still riding it. May be my last bike but I’d really like to have anti lock brakes and another gear.

Yes it used to be they always had left-over models, I think that's part of the shortage jive. I think dealers are under contact to take a brands bikes every year whether the last years model on the dealers floor has sold or not.
In ft. walton beach a local dealer had a brand-new model and new in crate dating back three previous years. < Obama economy.
You'd think they would be willing to wheelNdeal on the unsold models but they would only come off of MSRP ? $150 ...
Two dealerships in the area went out of business and the bikes were repo'd by the manufacturer.
Anyway, I'm buying a TW to hunt/trap/scout with. Very simple and reliable, quiet, 75mpg etc..

Story;
There was a cross-country race out west somewhere 10-12 years ago, someone on TW200 forum posted it. Really rough area steep/woods/boulder fields/side-hilling/washed out roads/etc. , every kind of bike, all against one another. KTM's/Huskies/CR-F/YZ 250/300/450/+? .
Two old'ish guys entered on TW's just for fun. The big bikes blasted off and gone, t-dubs trailing the pack. These two guys rode together and helped each other push/pull/drag the t-dubs across the countryside.
Long story less long, when they got within sight of the finish-line people started running towards them clapping. They thought they had taken so long that these people were glad they didn't have to come and rescue them. They were embarrassed until they were informed they were the only two to make it to the finish. Most riders had turned around and went back.

Here's a comparison of t-dub vs slightly bigger CC big on hillclimb.
I couldn't find the video of t-dub with a few 230cc/250cc bikes climbing hills, t-dubs fat back tire works..

If I could do it over again I would've saved the money and kept the stock clutch. I was initially trying to turn the FX into something it's not...a do it all bike. Even with the Rekluse, in tight, technical and rocky terrain, it would stall. Additionally, the engine braking was annoying and tiresome. My TE-300 is exponetially better for this type of riding. Now, when the terrain is open and more flowy, the FX is absolutely amazing. I'll take it every time over my 300. For the more open, flowy riding a Rekluse is not needed.
