Just to show everyone I'm not just an internet troll asshole who joins forums just to piss people off, here's pics of my completed project (almost :woohoo: ) It aint as flashy as Larry's or Stus or some of the other builds, but its my style, took her for a short spin to break the clutch loose and check brakes, need to do fork seals but no problem there, and a minore tuning on the air screws
