front forks and wheel looks great...i have a question..did you just do your front end for now and plan on doing rear wheel later?..i have a 06 rk and was thinking of doing it that way..obviously because of the cost

Looks really good...not to bust your bubble, but when you get a chance, do the rear...I know you normally don't see it, but sometimes you do, and it throws the look off a bit..JMO...but the ride is lookin sweet!
