I have no access to any photos or my old drawings up here. So thanks, some kid, for posting your drawing that looks like something I would have drawn!<br /><br />Actually, it looks exactly like something I would have drawn. Wouldn't it be wierd if that somehow WAS one of my drawings? Nah, probably not.Groundhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085125688012990531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-51549105633744913252009-04-29T07:06:00.000-07:002009-04-29T07:06:00.000-07:00The rear shock was labeled 1995 XR250 from the Sal...The rear shock was labeled 1995 XR250 from the Salvage yard...It measures 14" from bolt to bolt.thierry.couphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609898303579517520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-34612182346158592192009-04-29T06:26:00.000-07:002009-04-29T06:26:00.000-07:00alright.

When I am able to find a longer shock with either no remote reservoir, (preferably) or one with a hose on it, I would probably remove my raising link. The different length shock seems like the best way not to alter the progression of the suspension travel. That's not such a big deal to me though. <br /><br />I've finally started the story that leads up to my whole XL600 obsession, we're still in my early first encounters with motorcycles phase. This at least gives an introduction to why I like what I like as well as possibly giving insight to my obsessive patterns throughout life. It's over at http://xl600r.blogspot.com/. <br />Cheers!<br />JoelGroundhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085125688012990531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-22777341476445864942009-04-28T21:39:00.000-07:002009-04-28T21:39:00.000-07:00THIERRY!

We were hoping you would weld those supports under your seat back in. Glad you did and hope the welds are good. <br /><br />Looking forward to riding with you guys in the not-too-distant future. I'll keep us visible with my added height and you guys can ride on either side of me so that if I become too top-heavy and start to tip over you can push me back upright. <br />http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee99/zombie-stomp/100_2579.jpgJoelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-34463097333219045132009-04-28T20:06:00.000-07:002009-04-28T20:06:00.000-07:00HI Charlie, I updated my Blog.
