P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

Slowly getting my crap together with these dang cage bungs. It ain't perfect but I'm getting there. That's mine on the left.

No pics but I swapped out my shocks for some with spacers. Gained 2.25" at both ends. 15.25 at front and 17.25 at the back and that's with the Bighorns. My 30" Terrabites will hopefully be here sometime this week.

I thought you were running after market shocks, the spacers will help a lot, mine squatted badly before the shocks.

The things that happen when you have some free time on your hands!

Looking good.

No expensive shocks here bud. Personally I don't think they justify the cost. I figured up my average mph last night and even with all the street driving I do my average is just 11.4 mph.

Dude free time around here is extremely rare. I need a lathe so I can do it all at home. Can't talk wife into it.

Nah. That slow nasty technical stuff is for me.

That's my favorite also, gravel roads with at least 12 inch gravel. I'm in the process of tires and rims, I like the idea of 30 inch tires, but wonder if it will affect my rock crawling much or if I can just hit it faster. I may have a High Lifter kit coming also, jury is out on whether I install it. Found some American made tires ( Black Waters ) Haven't found American made rims yet.

Im also worried about being too tall with these spacers. Sometimes ground clearance isn't a good thing lol. You'll love the Blackwaters. Awesome all around tire. I ordered the Terrabites so I wouldn't have to swap out to go street riding. They have some serious tread plus DOT.

These showed up few mins ago.

Awesome. I can’t wait to see how these measure up. I’m guessing about 29 inches at operating pressure mounted to the machine.

Id bet you're right on the money. Others have said theirs run about an inch short. That's fine with me. Going for good road tire and not height.

They’ll be a good road tire but I’m very confident they will be an awesome trail tire as we have seen many of them in action.

Yeah for real. I seen Don's in action at Mary's ridge. That's what made my mind up about them. Tired of swapping between Evos and Bighorns lol.

I’d like to hear what you have to say about those. My eyes have been on them since Takeover. My only question is how well the sidewalls take abuse. Good looking tire buddy!

I plan on getting them mounted Friday. May be a while before any real world testing due to low temps. Us Southerners don't fare well in single digits lol. I was very impressed with the set Don has.

Have you stood them up next to your EVOs?
I am strongly considering these in 30" after seeing Joey's "Farm Rig" on Saturday.

I've got a set of EFX Moto Hammers with similar tread pattern, not holding up well in the rocks, I mean gravel! HA! May have a soft rubber compound, front and back look the same, rounded off edges after three rides??????? I might ride aggressively, doesn't seem like it behind my glasses. Are EVO's made in the US? Or Where, I'm on this anti China thing now, screw Kim S**T Head!
