took a cx500 front fender and bobbed it


other than that, changed from the 14mm master to a 5/8 with strait shot braided lines. no more union, removed the kick stand to cut 1/2 inch out of it and weld the foot back on, give the bike a bit more of a lean, pulled the mufflers off so we can slice them open and remove 1/2 the baffles, shorten the muffler a few inches, and re weld it up and coat it again. master lever has been shaved and rounded just waiting to be coated. also pulled the front rotors to recoat them and do somethign a bit diff wiht the coating work. ill get some pics up as we go


well we pressed the baffles out of the mufflers so ddi not have have to cut into the pipe at all! that was nice so jsut had to recoat it! so that should open it up a bit and have it a lil more of a growl to it, kick stand has been cut 1/2 in welded then ground down to get the bike to lean a bit more, new master is coated, lever is coated, rotors are re coated and ready to rock

assembly soon!
