The rest of my parts will be here on Tuesday. Keep in mind although I'm mechanically inclined and have built several cars this is my first bike build. I am doing 100 percent of the work using common sense.
The paint will be my biggest challenge, I'm very picky and chances are I'll be stripping and painting several parts multiple times.

A little pre fitting of the parts and making notes for new hardware.

Maybe it's the time to install a front air ride as well.
Compressor goes in the freight train light,space enough behind the light.

I'm in too. Mines 05 too. It's nearly there, just a few things to sort.
Already learnt something.... Check out bad dad website.

I got everything on, the only thing I will need to customize is my crash bar. My boards hit the bar by 1/2 or so.
