Far out! That's what it is all about. You bought it and you made it the way you want it and now you ride it. Great buy. Roy

thanks alot guys!!!:woohoo:

glad you all like it.

anyone know a good site for rubber fork boots? can seem to find ones that fit. i know the kz police model came stock with them just can't seem to get ahold of any.

also my buddy just gave me some industrial exhaust wrap. im not sure about it though it seems to wide and thick for my exhaust...what do you guys think??

thanks again guys, jesse
