    Love the color choices for the new seat cover!

      Thanks! It looks good when the mosko reckless is in place

    What exhaust are you running? I couldn't catch the brand of your new seat. Looks good, you'll have to keep it clean.

      It's the HPCorse. I like the narrow profile - when I jump (and bottom the suspension), it doesn't crash into the swing arm.
      The seat is Thrill Seekers. They have a really cool online tool for customizing the colors. I've installed myself. Bought a $30 pneumatic staple gun from Amazon and followed their video. I think a professional would do a better job, but I'm happy with the results. The good news is that I can adjust as the time goes by.
      I know, it's white. I have another dirt bike that is also white. It gets dirty, but it only adds charm and character to the bike (or at least is what the lazy me wants to believe) :)

    Hi! How was the jump? Did the DDX bottom out?

      Yes, with my weight (185lbs no gear) it's easy to bottom out. At the very least I needed new springs. I'm finishing installing the TracTive within the next few days. I'll report on how different it is.

      Please let me know how the TracTive works out. I’m on the fence about whether to go with TracTive or Ohlins. The dealer is pushing towards Ohlins and Andreani cartridges. Hope you are feeling better!
