Thank you. It was an honor and a privilege. I am still in the National Guard and probably will retire from it. The benefits are too hard to pass up. Was in Baghdad from Dec 09-July 10.

I plan on running an oil cooler on this bike but had read that it could keep the engine too cool. So I picked up used Mocal t stat for pretty cheap. I still have to buy the cooler lines and fitting for the bike but it's a little at a time now.

Got the engine painted. I plan on sanding the fin edges back just figured i would let the paint cure a bit more. Also got a water/air seperator for my compressor so i will be blasting the frame soon. Once its blasted and painted i will put the motor in and will have something looking like a bike!!

I'm not sure what size they are but that could be why the flipped. I'll probably just stick to photobucket instead of hosting them through the forum. So far I'm very pleased with how it's coming along. Will be painting all the body work jade metallic to match the ZRX cowl that I have.

Got the forks today. Dont mind the gold wall tires. That front tire is shot so I didnt see a point in removing it when I painted the wheel.

They are off of a CBR 900RR. I will also be running the hydraulic clutch off of a ZX7. The bolt holes line up perfectly. I will have to remove quite a bit from the inside of the cover to make it work.
