Yall are lucky. I am from Kotzebue Alaska. Had 1 before but it didn't last a month. It burnt up and my pops sold it sadly. I was only 13 years old. Hadn't ridden one ever since.

Thats a real beauty. I have purchased a LED light for my big red also. I'm curious did you go straight to the battery using a switch or did you run of the existing wires? Mine is a auto LED light but i don't think i can use existing wires.

[@atcofnj5509]

The LED light plugged directly into the stock harness with a functional high and low beam.

[@danieldoherty1758]

Did you have to modify anything to fit that front tire and rim? It looks great!!

[@atcofnj5509]

No mods required, the stock hub will bolt right up. Just make sure you have the right offset and bolt pattern. Also, since the tire it’s slimmer than the stock tire it steers a lot better. the rear tires also aren’t balloons like the stock tires so it corners great.

[@danieldoherty1758]
