The bodywork from HotBodies wasn't bad.It actually fit pretty well from where the marks were on the bodywork.The would say the difference between Armour Bodies and Hot Bodies is the finish and flexibility.Hot Bodies had some pieces that had some minor imperfections and the bodywork seemed to not be as flexible but minor differences.The big thing for me to remember is that it's track bodywork that is it.I honestly would be happy with either one really.

This is what mine looks like now :toocool:

I'll be psyched if mine looks close to that good when it's done...

Looking good Pat! I guess no more Frankenstein stitching :)

My axle was harder to install / remove than it should have been. I figured I needed to line the forks up, but when I tried, I knew something was up. Pulled the forks apart and found a "high speed pop off" had come loose and go mangled. Probably happened when I crashed in Nov. Now I'm waiting to get a new one so I can put everything back together.

Nice work Matt - Forks scare me for some reason. Any special tools required to disassemble/reassemble?

This was my first time working on a Big Piston Fork and it was stupid easy to take apart. I'll let you know about the putting it back together part. I only needed one special tool.

This is what you need to cartridge forks. I've got it if you even need it.

The maint stuff isn't too difficult - changing oils, seals, bushings, springs. The tuning side - valving, shims, etc, is above my level of expertise...
