Here is mine. I am still waiting for the right stickers (thanks Gil 
) and the same rear tire as the front one.
Here are the specs :
- King Kahuna '98 frame
- Marzocchi Z2 Superfly forks
- full XTR drivetrain and brakes
- STM hubs on Mavic 517 "lime" rims
- Kooka seatpost
Vote for me, and I will give you health, money and happiness

Seatpost? Too new (Thomson post)....or does not match the stem?
Those pictures are from last September. I've done some changes.
I tried to do a gallery of that bike before submitting pictures, but couldn't find the link or option to upload.
I'll try to post updated ones in the next couple days.

Yes , too modern I think , there are so many nice parts on that bike that i find the seat post not to adequate .
a black ringle would be much better .
but certainly one of the nicest hei hei on here .

Re: hei hei lawwill
Fork works great. First thing to notice is a lack of pedal bobbing when riding, but reacts nicely on the hits. About 2.5 - 3" travel. Takes a slightly bigger hit to get this one going than other forks.
Torsionally rigid (flexy) as any air/oil Rock Shox or Marzocchi from the era.
Uses 8 plastic bushings on the pivot joints at the bottom, so when those are shot, good luck finding some, which can be a concern, but they do last. At least AMP still has parts for their linkage forks.
Great for XC riding. Don't recommend it for large jumps. If you ride a lot of rocky trails (like I do), then you might want to use a Fox or a nicer air / oil fork where you can dial it in more. Only way to change compression/rebound is taking apart, changing oil weights and playing with air pressure. No dials here.
