Ok they have become spring mods and now I have a sense of urgency since the weather here in Arizona is beautiful.. So far this what ive done torn apart the bike and started to put back together however a fork stop and bearing has halted the project until next week..

What else I need? Im going to order new wheels and debating to go either 19 or 21 upfront any suggestions would be appreciated. Order a new fender from steel ridge (Drfter) once it comes in I will cut it up and paint myself.. Lets see..

On a not make sure when you take apart your wire connectors make they will fit through the trees if replacing the trees.. Took apart the connecters (ouch) and put them back just to realize they wont fit through the hole in the new trees..

So here are a few pics..
