since i have put all the tin back on, and im 95% ready to try and get it turned over...


im looking for a few odds and ends(obviously i want to get it running first, but i still have a wishlist)
a different headlight mount
risers, or slightly taller handlebars
forward controls(im tall)
a longer kickstand(with the extended forks and no rake, it sits much higher)


anywho, hi all, and see u on the road(hopefully sooner than later)
