Schweeeeet Ride...I have the same model bike, but it is a couple of years older and it has a different chainguard. Mine only has the lower portion of the embossed wing detail. Your chainguard looks just like an X-53 guard.

Sweet looking bike! I've got one almost like it. Mine didn't have a tank and part of the rear rack is missing. I used the frame in RRBO 2. I've seen an identical one to these that was badged as a Mercury.

Very nice, did you fix the original fork or replace it?

i found a straight donor fork minus the hardware, on ebay for $17. then stripped and painted the new one, and transfered the hardware onto it!

adam, it was your comment on the sprocket that made me do all this! :lol: :lol: i figured that since i was changing the sprocket,i would beat the dents out of the original chainguard too. from there it dominoed back to stock!
