4.Installing the RIMS & HUB...
Installing the accessories is very straight forward. Be sure
to keep tabs on what you remove, then everything will go back on
without to much trouble. The biggest problem is installing the
rear shim, because you must hold the rear brake in place while the
shim is installed. I was able to install everything in about 30
minutes with the correct tools.

Installing your *NEW* USD Forks...
Install time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: EASY
Installing the USD forks is pretty straight forward, but for the beginner
I have included some pictures to show you the steps. First, Remove the
wheel nuts, both at the same time because as you remove one side the
other side will just spin. You will need two hex drivers for this, then remove
the steering arm, center C-Clip, both top fork screws and loosen the
two fork camps. The forks will just drop out and now just reverse the
process for installing your new forks. You will need to put a little lock
tight on the two top fork screws or they will fall out while running.


2. 8 Spoke Concaved GP Style RIMS... Added: 02/15/06
Super Trick, Sweet, this 8 Spoke GP style rim was just released from CNR.
They are designed for the Thunder Tiger (Electric & Gas), plus the NF style
(electric & Gas) bikes. The rear RIM is concaved for single side swingarms
and they come in various Colors, including Sun GOld, Trans Blue and Polished.

3. Integy Revo Shock Install 
Install time: 1 hour
Difficulty: Medium
Well, it sometimes comes down to modifications and using other companies
products for a specific performance enhancement. The Integy shock, which was
designed for a monster truck can work on your SF501 nitro bike, but tools are
required for this modification. The ball end of the shock must be drilled out
to fit the swingarm rod, then ground down for proper fit. The process is pretty
easy, but you will need a few tools to manage this task. The revo shock is a little
on the tall side, but you will need to decide what is the best ride height for you?


Because the Integy shock is a little long, it became necessary to figure out how to
compensate for this? I added two plastic pieces on each side of the frame. A simple, but
effective fix, until something more permanent can be found. I will probably cut some
frame extensions’ using carbon fiber.

4. Quick Release Drag-Wire Bar Mounts 
Install time: 3 hours
Difficulty: Medium-to-Difficult / Tools Required
Here is a new modification for both electric nf’s and nitro nf’s and
this can be a difficult install, which does require the frame to be removed.
What exactly is this modification used for? The current NF have plastic
bar mounts that hold the wires on both sides of the bike. This mod removes
the plastic and replaces them with quick release pressure fittings. To do
this modification you will need a 10/32 Tap; Fine Thread, Drill bit size
21, 2 3/32 Brass or steel rods, 4 quick release fittings 4mm, 2 5/32 OD tubing.
You will need to remove both sides of the frame to drill out the holes,
which will hold the new quick release fittings. The pictures below will better
expain this modification. They are rock solid and look really sharp.
If you do not have the tools or knowledge to install them yourself, for
aprox. 20 dollars I can install them for you. Since this modification was
added a few months ago, I have already installed aprox. 5 sets.
You can ship the bike or frame to me and turn around is pretty quick.
However, if you wish to order the parts yourself, here is all the information
you will need to order the parts yourself.
