    What are you doing with the parts you don't need any more? There are a couple of small things I'm looking for like side covers and grab handle.

    haha iphone picture makes it look better than it is.
    update: everything is apart mostly. cones, highbars, forwards controls and jet kit on the way! in the mean time ive been touching up bits and parts polishing and painting, cut the frame... but the place im staying cant handle a 240v welding machine so until tires go back on cant weld her back up
