All finished up
First test run I stripped the front R&P, rear lockouts had play between axle shaft and stub and it became fwd. Replaced front gears and inserted a grommet into the stub axle to keep axle shaft in locker.

Bike is a 2010 KTM 990 SMR, trying to sell it actually.

Wheels are 2.2's wrapped in rc4wd mudslingers. I can't go much bigger without serious rubi

There's been a few of them that did get finished, search the name "kelly"

Get on it and finish

Reason I chose the running hardware is because they fit well, grip like a gecko and I've had those for 8 or so years now, so just trying to wear them out. Wasn't a surface they didn't make it up

Wheeled with my boy this morning
Broke a weld on the front bumper so I'll have to strip it down a little to touch that up. I didn't like the color I painted the frame anyways. Next rig I'll wheel hard first before I paint the frame.
