| Nice! Very nice! You did a great job. Two questions How is the powder coat holding up where your legs rub the frame. I just got a milleville tire for my rm250, How do you like it? Again nice job. |

| Where Am I ? | The frame will still wear due to rubs, it will wear slower, but it will wear. I have some really thick clear vinyl that I'm going to cover the common wear area's. The tire's are great so far. My buddy owns the shop I did all of the work in, and he recommended them, and I like them so far. I hear they don't do to well on 4-strokes for some reason, but i like them so far.
