Mike Furness Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Good looking rig Tom ... Engage the brain before the bike's gear box and you will remember you are 50 and not 19.Old Tom ... If you need help rescuing the youngster give me a holler and we'll take the RZR! LOL! We can both go out and have a good laugh at Tom's expense!

Alwaysdirty Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 You cant find a more dependable four stroke than an XR. Keep us posted on how your ops mission goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzNuggetBob Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Tom Nice rig,here is somthing you want to try. its 2' PVC held onto the bike fork with 2 auto hose clamps worked great.taper cut the pick head slot on top so it wedges when you drop it in. drop in your pick and go. sorry photo of photo but I think you get the idea. I kept a small bungi over the top thinking it may come out riding fast/hard but I finally got lazy and left it off , it never did come out while riding.

AzNuggetBob Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Tom if you do decide to try this, you can put a pipe cap on the bottom as I did, dont forget to drill a hole in the cap. or it makes a realy good rain trap. strap it to the fork knuckle so you get shock travel clearance.AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your new adventures, hope you find a bunnnch more. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
