Default New pics, a new plan and a word of advice

Heres my advice. Don't every kick a cold 500 two stroke over with out riding boots. I'm now walking with a limp. Again. I went over to take some pics, and mess with my brakes, and decided to get a start and run video. Well I had on my lucchese ostrich skin boots, so i was trying to be careful not to fudge them up. Bad idea. I didn't kick hard enough, it kicked back, and I now have a nice long bruise right across the arch. Oh well. Heres the new pics. We didn't ride this weekend, maybe next weekend. And heres the new plan.
I've decided to go a different direction with NiteMare. I'm gonna lace-up a set of 17's, and put some stickies on them, to play on asphalt with. I'm gonna tig weld a 12 a clock bar, and an engine cage up, flatten out the top of the gas tank, and machine out a set of stunt pegs for just more options. So what I need is somebody who can ace my hubs up to a set of 17" rims, or give me very specific directions on how to.I've got an extra set of wheels to do this, and I've got to get started on my other mods. Also some input would be nice on which direction I should go. Think super moto style stunt bike. And I may be staying in Japan for 3 more years, with my wife this time. Let me hear some ideas guys.

A bike like this is the idea.

A 490 stunt bike?! Yeeee frigging hawwww! Man, I thought youd want a 4 Stroke, you know, mellower, more predictable type of power. This is going to be fun! Do a search for wheel lacing on youtube. Im pretty sure vids have been linked to them before.

I wear ostrich skin boots because I love soft leather cowboy boots. Always wore cowboy boots,nice ones for around town, my double h's when I'm working, its just how I am. Been smoking since I was 14 so thats not going away anytime soon. And I wanna get into stunting because to me it shows an incredible amount of skill and balance. I've rode most of the tracks and trails on Okinawa, so time to just start messing around in the spare parking lots on base.
And yeah I'd love to have a nice four stroke to set up, but I've already got the bike , and its just a fun project anyways.
