Finally upgraded from my 6 0ver to this beauty. Its a 12 over arm and just waiting on bearing from dealership to come in and I will be riding again. I will have have to get a 12 over tail, so anyone got a old one laying around let me know

Well let me know what ya think and Ill post up more pics as I complete it.

This is a shot of it more of what it will look like with the tail pieace on

This is what it used to look like with the 6 over arm

Sorry gonna get some bigger pics up for better detail. Will try and show a pic of a idea I had for bottle mounts. Gonna do a dual mount 1 for shifter and 1 for the nitrous.

Kurt · « **Reply #2 on:** September 14, 2009, 07:21:53 AM »

why not just run the shifter off the nitrous? one bottle that way

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #3 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:14:36 AM »

Hmmm, I didnt even know you could do that. And does that only work if I do dry shot and not wet? Thanks for the idea though.

Matt from cycletek can hook you up, I did wifes bike this way, basically just teeing off nos supply and running it to a co2 regulator

Kurt · « **Reply #5 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:57:45 AM »

there you go

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #6 on:** September 14, 2009, 05:29:15 PM »

Here is bigger pictures. Now you can see alittle better details.

And yea im gonna go that route with the single bottle, ill just go up from a small one to a larger so i can get normal use out of both of them. How about the buttons? I have the air shifter now thats hooked into my horn ad i flip the switch and turns horn into shifter, what button would I use in conjuction with the shifter on?

Kurt · « **Reply #7 on:** September 14, 2009, 05:46:01 PM »

same button your just changing where you get the supply from did you get a hold of Matt?

Arm is too long. I would have kept the 6 over.

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #11 on:** September 15, 2009, 10:01:10 AM »

meh as they say to each is own, i love the stretched out look on these bikes. i just seen one from brocks and it had the 12 over and once i have it all done it will look really good. oh and if anyone was wondering i got the arm made from SB-customs.

so in this pic are you looking at how the extra 6 inches of adjuster rod hanging out the back of the arm and thinking to yourself. man i should have went 12 just so i don't have to cut that all thread?

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2009, 04:30:55 PM »

well i'm sure if you pay him well he'd put down the camera. and the 24" arm. well now that's just retarded to even think about.

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #16 on:** September 15, 2009, 06:02:39 PM »

Yea 24 would be just dumb looking. I wonder whats the longest arm out there that someone uses.....

954bob · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2009, 09:00:18 PM »

idiots are born everyday so you'd be amazed. ooooh it looks so cool.

Kurt · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2009, 09:17:29 PM »

you should get it powdercoated to match the frame before you mount the bearings in it

You going to replace the rear tire to go with that arm??

I know that just saying PC it the alum color of the frame so it isn't just bare

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #25 on:** September 16, 2009, 02:45:56 PM »

Ah, yea I'm trying a rattle can alum look, i put three coats on it and ill see how it turns out, right now it looks ok. If it just looks to cheap ill spend the money and get it PC'ed. My big thing is how the ride is going to be. I weigh in at 215 right now so I should have enough in the back to keep the traction under control.

Sgtbusa · « **Reply #26 on:** September 28, 2009, 09:21:44 PM »

Well, the day has finally come. I got the arm on. Cant do much riding on it as i need to mod the tiger tail. Will soon get a stretched tail pieace but want to get a few rides in before winter season. Well let me know what yall think. Sorry didn't have the install pics, but just to sum it up. It was a pain! I created the pain myself cause when I sold my old arm I sold it will all my stock parts still on it, so i had to run all over the place to gather up the parts( Thanks again Busaman66,smithabusa). Then after got all of them, noting was lining up, i was yelling into Dave's ear(tdcfrank) cause I was so close to kicking it over and just giving up. But amazingly while talk to him and about to give up the swingarm shaft finally went in and the threads went smooth. Well ok thats the story and any more addons to it ill try to post them up. Sorry pics just coming out funny.
