Japanese flag decal is there to cover original Kick Twenty Minutes logo. Also mounted crystal clear headlight from Ebay. Maybe I should take up a cheaper hobby. Horse racing for example.

Been very busy with some private obligations but still managed to get things 90% done.
Literally any part that i touched needed some kind of work on it, I've been keeping CNC machine in full working order :mrgreen:

Only thing remaining is front mudguard, steering weight end, and that's about it. I can start doing some break in because of the new Wiseco pistons etc.

Maybe I should take up a cheaper hobby. Horse racing for example.
