    well, I thought it was perfect, but it's real close. anyway, the minor repair that lies ahead won't change the way she looks today. here she is

    the handle bars are too low. you'll be hitting the gas tank A LOT. and scuffing the paint. and you can't turn as sharp.

    i've had a lot of times where i'm just creeping along and do a 180 on a dime. sucks when you can't do that.

    i learned that lesson with the ninja i had.

    she looks really nice though. but that seat won't be good for very long rides. LOL.

    THANKS GUYS!

    Dbikers, I'm pretty sure that headlight is original (dunno if you thought it wasn't)

    Snowwy, the bars don't hit one bit, not even maxed out. I rode circles in my street last night.

    Dazsculpt, yeah I have to do the seat but the cheap guy is out of stock and new problems are popping up now that it's on the road (2 new Topics just started bout clutch being tight and tach being loud)


    side note: it's a dual exhaust and it's Real Quiet, not very good for splitting lanes. Think I'm going to paint the homemade muffler brackets black
