seat (need to call air-tech)
hook up blinkers
adjust chain
change oil
grips
mirrors


Wish list:
new gauges

wrapped the exhaust, bled the brakes and took her out today. Need to bleed the brakes again, very squishy. Didn't go far I have no brake lights. I'll post a video tomorrow. I NEED REAR SETS BAD!

awesome work, sick bike and nice job on the honda. What exhaust did you use/have? I saw it was 4->1, if so where'd you get it, how'd you mod it? Sounds good too!

MB Co - I picked up a box cafe seat from air-tech. Takes a month to build and a 4 days to ship. I should have it around the begining of Feb.

**sorry man i re read it. I'm assuming you meant rear sets. I'm still looking into it. Trying to find the most cost effective way to do it.

RandomMX - I picked up two bikes and a lot of parts when i purchased. The 4-1 came with it, I believe it's a Mac. I'm running it open header. I wrapped it with titanium exhaust wrap up to the collector and polished the pipe. The Honda is my first project and took about 18 months to build. Fun bike.

yea, honestly doesn't look half-bad. the only thing is it may be to wide when looking at the top-down profile, but looks hella clean in one piece!!
