did all the work my self except install the rims, I thought about it but came to the conclusion that f@#$ up a pair of $1200 rims was not worth it....

as far as good shop in jersey, there are none at least none that can pay to fix something they mess up....and they mess thing up good here in north jersey....

I also agree that the rear end needs slammed and you neeed a solo seat IMHO.

YES!

the cables can be shorter, they dont bother me as much as they bother everyone else
(an obvious hint that they are to long)
I might change them down the line that way I won't feel bad having to re purchase them again....they are long but not to long that I will rush out and buy a new set tomorrow
