Cool Rocker Project ALMOST DONE!!
After about 6 months of work, we are down to the final 2 weeks or so. Just getting the cables on, wiring finished (hopefully tuesday), rear fender and chin fairing put on, etc. etc.

When she's all done I will post a full write up of everything done; there is just so much I don't feel like typing it all now.

Basically, there is nothing left stock on the bike except for the primary cover, the tank, and few othe odds and ends pieces.

Here are some really crude, crappy pics I took with it up on the lift.
