[QUOTE="placelast, post: 596824, member: 22683"] I have a copy of the '96 Dirt Rider Enduro Shootout, and a Cycle World write up on a '93/4 model; can mail you copies if you e-mail me your snail mail addie, millenniumdsj@hotmail.com. If I remember correctly, the earlier ones came from Italy and were gone thru quite well (the Italians know what they are doing); most had wide-ratio trans, a slight over bore (~260cc), center stands, fender-frame extension w/grab hook, lights & coil, 18" rear wheel, and UFO enduro rear fender. They were real lookers. For some odd reason the stock fuel tank was retained. Primaily for the transmission and basic platform, I waited & waited for any to show up in SoCa, but they were too rare this way, and the only one I was able to find had the stock trans. Later on it was rumored Big Red pressured (legally?) Hines to stop importing them (corporate wants us on XRs) so he brought in the kits only, to this day, and has built a respectable business converting other MXer brands too. I've had the pleasure of taking a spin on Dave Wood's old '99, now owned by Dirt Bike Dave. Although this is an American conversion, it's an outrageous ride - the most perfect I've had the honor to pilot. It had Pioli (sp?) forks - worked like no other, and I can see why Honda (and owners) struggled with the suspension, even though they own controlling interest in Showa. Everything else fit and worked so well I could go fast from the get go, despite being setup for a heavier rider. The only thing short of perfection was a stock close-ratio trans., and even then that would be primaily for the desert. [/QUOTE]
