Help
Really like the look of your bike! I'd love to rock one of these, but I'd be worried about breaking my back. How rough do they ride without the rear suspension? Tolerable?

Exactly I dont want to do solid black due to doing those dishes in the side cost me a nice penny, and they wouldn't be too noticeable if I go solid black, I hate it cause I need to get it painted but I just cant decide on a damn theme/design I want lol.
Ah .. you know what might look real nice especially with that theme is like a rust redish brown. It's not a shiney color and flat colors have really grown on me. Flat would look nice on that bike because it's adding to the whole feel of it. I hate it when I can't decide too lol. Hey you can always repaint it next year!

Honestly Im not sure, I have yet to ride it like that lol. I kinda bit the bullet and said screw it, but you do have other options you can lower it and keep the shock it just wont be as slammed as mine, and you also cant have under the seat as open and will most likely want to run side covers to cover up the shock. It will be rough but the springs on the seat will add a LITTLE bit of help but not a whole lot.

So for now this is how she will be rocked for now kinda like the roughness of the unpainted tank, I have taken it out but its been running like crap so I need to get some plugs and work on the tune. As for the seat it ended up being not half as rough as I expected and rides pretty nice for being a hardtail. Sadly this bike may be up for sale by the end of the summer to fund ANOTHER bike project lol.
