First ride, good and bad.... Ran great for about 20 minutes, then the problems revealed themselves! Seems as if the I should have studied more about the ignition that came with the bike, seems it was pre-firing and causing some problems? Ive since replaced the ignition with a new OEM, and also replaced the entire top end. Also figured out the nice green frame was bent. Kinda glad, so I can get a different frame.

New goodies from ESR! 310PV and I also got lucky and found a good frame with fresh black powdercoat on ebay! Frame was perfect!

Been disassembling and reassembling in my bike shop during the ice storm. Not much business going on with the roads shut down! I do know that my camera sucks (old iPhone) and will be using a real camera to get more pics later. I think it looks better on the black frame!

Ahhhhh yes, much better! Complete transformation looks very sweet. Great attention to detail. Have not seen many of the trx 7 pipes. Let us know how that baby works. She looks really nice!

Nice ride! I am interested in your impression of the trx7 pipe. I'm leaning towards one as most of my riding is trail/woods but I don't want to loose all my topend.

That black frame with the blue on the engine looks killer.
