Hell Yes man! Awesome Job!!! I'd throw some clip-ons on that bike, but that's just my opinion and I have been known to be an a$$hole. Ha!

Rarely do builds live up to the hype but this surpasses it. Your sporty has all the rage man. Job very well done.

Heres my one month update. Bike is riding great. Hardtail has been holding up well, especially with all the road construction in my town. I'm working on a rear fender and I've also added a hand shift and foot clutch. I've always enjoyed a hand shift but I'm still getting used to the foot clutch. Here's some pics.

Here's a steel bracket I made to hold it all up. It's mounted to my coil relocation bracket.



Some steel rod I cut and then bent to use as a shifter.





Shift **** my wife wanted me to use.

Bike looks great!!!

I gotta ask, what kind of headlight mount is that? Looks like you have it comming from the underside of the "eyebrow" mounting holes... I'd appreciate it if you could post more pics and info on it. Thanks in advance!
