well....bike's all buttoned up. got my batt. cover back from the powdercoater the other day and slapped it on and took it for a ride. everything held up good. i did bottom out the fender twice though on two big *** pot holes but i think if i dial out the rebound on my shox i should be able to do away with that. it wasn''t bad but it did scrape. i'm definitely gonna look into mounting a new fender to the swingarm so i can slam the fender super close to the wheel and bottoming out will be a thing of the past. here's some completed pics. i tapped a lot of people (too many to remember at the moment but you know who you are) on the site so thanks for everyone's tips, help and advise.....
