keep those photos coming in.
Hey Jason! I have given in to patience... I have no choice. I'll post some pictures of the riser problem later. I had aftermarket 3" high by 1" diameter risers to go on, but they and the stock risers will not fit. If you look at the pictures later, you'll see it's even questionable that the RSD risers will fit??? If the RSD's do fit; it'll be as close as a goats *** hair! I'm still concerned... I'll post a thread with pictures on this topic later today.

Good looking bike. It will be good to see it all complete. There arn't many bones here and the ones that I have seen are fairly stock so your definately will stand out.

Bike week in April should be a good time and not too far of a ride from Litchfield.

Lookin' most excellent Skipper! I like your vision.

If you ever get over to the Havasu area give me a heads up before you ride out and I'll do my best to join up with you for a ride. The Yuma run is April 16-18 and the Laughlin run is the following weekend starting on Weds or Thurs.

Thanks man! I'm hoping the worst is behind me. I've got some big things I'm doing to the bike coming up; but I am doing or oversseing all of the fabrications and mods personally, so I hopefully won't run into any more unforseen problems!
