On The Pegs DIGGING DEEPER... MORE AND MORE BIKES ARE SHOW- ING UP IN THE PITS WITH THE XC GEAR MAKO 360 MOUNTS. Other parts, I run a Power Parts radiator fan and an E-Line skid plate, which those are pretty sweet. They’re all carbon and they’re lightweight and they mount well. I started running Funnel Web filters this year, too. Those are actually really cool. I’ve not been able to clog one up. They’ve got around twice the surface area of a regular filter. I run HBD graphics, Seat Concepts covers, Engine Ice, Motor X products, IMS tanks in the GNCC’s, SRT rotor guards, radiator braces and sprockets and rotors. I run pretty much the same suspension setting in Enduro that I run in GNCC. I run an 18-inch rear tire at the majority of the GNCC’s because they’re a lot rougher and rockier, but for the Enduros, as long as it’s not rocky, especially in the sand, I prefer the 19-inch rear. It’s a little stiffer sidewall. It tracks a little bit better. As far as the engine, I used to lug the bike a lot, but recently I’ve kind of gotten to where I’ll rev them a little bit more in the last year or so. Compared to say Steward Baylor, I ride really low RPM’s.
