    Northeast 24hr Challenge picture thread

    Great pics guys! Spotted this short vid about the race on Facebook this am, these guys are ripping through the woods, very cool footage. I tried to find it on youtube for the non-FB'ers but couldn't find it. Hopefully it will display here on this forum. No Alta's featured though, what's up with...

    High Current Aussie

    I would love a quick change battery setup for our Alta's. I'd also like the option to have a quick change battery that is half the size and weight of the current Alta battery. The bike handles great as is, but its a bit front heavy, and just generally heavy. Handles great, but you cannot get...

    How to get into racing

    I'm an old out of shape trail rider and most of my riding buddies are younger then me, fast as hell racer types (GP, enduro, MX). They let me tag along with them on trail rides, I don't know why. They were encouraging me for years to enter a race. So of course I finally did, entered the Desert...

    How to get into racing

    Are your riding buddies into racing? I've found that's the best way to get into it, quiz them about what might be a good first race, tag along with them, have them show you the ropes. Or just pick a race, sign up, show up, people will be happy to help you out. Go with an open mind, just try to...

    Alta Plastic Kit

    "This bike is too good not to share" Exactly! Lol. I'm still letting every knucklehead with a dirt bike helmet try my Alta. It's a mix of being happy to share the joy and cringing at the same time. And no matter what I tell them about taking it easy at first, it seems they are always...

    SUR-RON MX

    Nice work. Destroyed my rear fender on my YZ on a ride one time. Didn't think it would be a big deal. What a pain it turned out to be, besides slinging trail crap all over my back, somehow it was also getting in front of me, its was basically going all over the place. I can feel his (former)...

    Good luck you crazy bastards! Looking forward to hearing all about it. And hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Consider skipping the campfire brewskis in the evening? Heard the heat is crazy back east.

    Alta Plastic Kit

    Wow! Really?! Holy cow that is huge. And knee friendly shrouds, yes! Thanks for the heads up (double checking that it is not April 1st).

    DIY Alta Kickstand

    Yes, Alta bracket, 2015 KTM 250 XC kickstand arm. I won't have time to write anything up for a bit, but if you look at the pics in the link belo its pretty self explanatory. I'm not sure I'd recommend my approach, the spring is attached to the swingarm so is constantly in motion. It was a quick...

    DIY Alta Kickstand

    I klugged together a '15 KTM 250 XC kickstand install on my MXR. Not too thrilled with it, but it will do for now until I get a chance to rework it (better fitting washer/spacer, KTM kickstand rubber band keeper thing in a better location, rework the stopper tab on the bracket to get the...

    Tubliss on Front Wheels

    Are these them? AER-FLO Goggles $54.95? That's a pretty good price, I just paid more for a "normal" set of googles. Wish I had known about these, fogging up out here in the PacNW is a constant, year round issue, especially out on the single track. I may have to pony up for a set and give them a...

    Want to buy Seat or Seat Base, anyone have one they can spare?

    Looking for a seat for my '18 MXR. Would buy a complete seat or just the base as I'm going to build a tall seat setup. Let me know if anyone has one they can spare. The condition of the cover and foam does not really matter as long as the base is in good shape. Thanks. -Ed

    No Trip Meter? (A cell phone mount option)

    Wow! And thank you for sharing! But I think your thingiverse page link is not working, at least I'm not seeing it in my browser. And I'm glad I posted this thread as originally I was hesitant to ask a question that had been addressed on the forum already, but I just had to get additional...

    No Trip Meter? (A cell phone mount option)

    Well, now you're killing me here, Lol. No trip meter, a "first world problem" for me for sure. People losing their livelihood, especially after investing so much heart and soul, that's a real and very unfortunate problem. I will try to keep it in perspective.

    Where did you ride your Alta today?

    Anybody get out on their Alta's this weekend? I got invited to the Bonehead Enduro put on by the Vintage Motorcycle Enthusiasts (VME) which was happening in my area. It's a mix of old and new bikes, a semi organized scavenger hunt out in the woods on the dirt roads. They planned about 60...

    No Trip Meter? (A cell phone mount option)

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'm all set for tracking mileage, got the usual assortment of gps', bicycle speedo's, Trail Tech Vapor, cell phone, etc, was just surprised such a simple, basic function wasn't included. I was hoping I could track trip mileage without using an additional unit...
