Default box build

Since I have been reading all the threads on parts and builds I thought I'd share my 95 I finished today. I still have to shorten the tank lift as 3" was too much as the back of the tank hit the frame. I went for a different look, retro tank, different colored fenders. Anyway, thanks for all that contribute to this site.

If you ever want to swap tanks to a like a 2.2 gal peanut, you can raise it 6" before it tops out at the back on the frame.

Looks fantastic brotha! I think these early mid '90s sportys are some of the best ever built.
