one more shot. We actually put the tank back on before i had to run out yesterday so i didn't take pictures with the tank on.

all that's left is hooking up and bleeding the front brake, running the clutch cable (pipes have to come off for that) and taking her for the test drive. Now all i need is for the SNOW TO STOP !!!

lol hope you guys like it.

as always, thanks to everyone for the input when i was picking these bars out and looking for advice on the risers.

OH WAIT !!! I almost forgot...... Hey M I K E, looks like blue is faster again !!! lol lol lol
