I've been looking for a couple weeks and I found a shop today that had a new SM they had done a few mods to. I figured I would end up doing them anyway so I brought it home with me. I put 30 miles on it this afternoon and I must say I like it.

There was another memo shortly after that one that made a correction. It's actually black that's faster! :ride: camma you near Everett?

But seriously congrats on the new bike, cdobber! What ever color I love these bikes!

Noice. Got some Cycra handguards, aftermarket bars/clamps, sliders, Yoshi exhaust, and looks like the tail was already bobbed.

That memo was rescinded. Upon further testing, yellow is fastest. Just look in Eddie's garage!

Been busy. I had to sell the 06 for the new house. I came into some extra money and the wife made me buy a new sm.

I had the to chance to buy another yellow 06 at OTD but for $500.00 more I could have an 08.

I do Like the yellow but they don't make it anymore so I went for the white one.

Oh yea, Eddie made sure mine was fast too:thumbsup:

Nice, I just picked up my white DRZ 2 weeks ago myself. Is that your white frontier in the background? I also have a black frontier:)

Here is my Frontier. I really couldn't be happier with it; other than the lack of aftermarket support.

Nice. Who did your suspension? Greg Gagnon did my Titan when I had it. He's becoming the go-to guy for the late model Nissans.

Almost everything on my truck I bought from Greg, and he set up all the valving on my coilovers for me. He is an absolutely awesome guy. I have done all of the work on my truck myself accept for the shock hoops and engine cage. Being I don't know how to weld I figure that was best left to the professionals. It has been really difficult trying to build this truck, everything has to be custom. I still have a little work to do up front, then it is on to tackling the rear.

It's nice to show up to the desert and have everyone ask "What the hell is that"? The look on their face when they find out it's a Nissan is even better though.
