        I missed any references to changing its name...but no matter...this bike will always be SwampThing or Swampy as Randy had referred to her...and yes she is a Queen... No plans to change anything at this point...I ran out of money this month so there went my plans to get some new shocks until the next paycheck at the end of this month...cutting it real close to XSEast

                    I have them on my SG. Swap them side to side and take off the helmet lock they fit right on. The air line runs across just behind the tool box.

                    Made my bike ride and handle a LOT better.

                                    He was trying to ride The Swamp Thing at XS Southeast last fall Bob, you should have come.


                                    I guess I don't have a lot to talk about "trying to ride" do I?
