Thank YOU sir! It was tedious as ****. Once I got a Hang of the pen flow though it went on a lot quicker. Big thanks to flat iron for sending it to me free of charge. There are some really good people on this forum and he's one of em.

Edit-I used a duplicolor hot tires paint pen. 2 coats.

Awesome ride. It's been a few good hours of reading through the some 106 pages!

It was worth finding the ridiculous hacked post from the bars thread to come across your bike

I have another question for you. Did you have any fitment issues with the Figure Machine Air cleaner. In particular the breather bolts. I'm on my second back plate from them and am still having some fitment issues. They said that they haven't had any others with this issue so I thought I would ask.

none. went through about 4 a/c's until i found this one and have had no issues with excessive blow by like the others. the figure machine a/c is a well thought out design. even the little keys that go behind the breather bolts themselves are slotted to route any excess oil properly.
