Kevin123 - yes I received the seat today. It's a vls6, I needed a long seat so I can shorten as needed.

Parts in:

rear sets (started with 04 gsxr's but looks like I may go with 05 zx6r's)
tail
tail lights
gauges (tach and speedo)

Looks like I'll be busy the next couple of weeks. I'll get pics going soon.

Parts in and on. . .

gauges wired up and mounted, just needs to connect speedo and tach cables. Did some grinding and hammering and got the seat to fit just right. Still need make a seat pan wire up the tail lights, extend the wiring, move the battery, build a seat, and install the rear sets. Oh yea I'm rejetting right now too.

Been busy as hell. What started as a 2-3 month build has turned into a 6 month project. Here's whats new. . .

Painted the motor and carbs
rejetted
finally got the rear end done up. Painted and ready to go.
got a Shorai battery. This thing is tiny, I haven't taken a pic yet.
wiring is done
decided to do some knee dents (ultimate fighters bike is sick so I copied him a bit)
rear sets are on.
fabbed up a ignition switch mount.


Just need to make a seat and paint. Thinking of a flat blue or black for paint, haven't decided. Wheels probably are not gonna stay gold and black. . .
