thank you sir, it has been a long project. moving to a new house in a few weeks so unfortunately the progress might slow down a bit but here are a few pics of her current status.. the front end fitment with all the oem parts was night and day compared to the aftermarket crap that i had on it. it all fell into place perfectly.. Getting the fairings re-installed... Shout out to dan for all his help. everything in the pics that is primered will be a candy red, with some other parts being powdercoated or dipped. Hopefully then it will be worthy of a Team Absolute badge.. More body work to come, needs another coat of primer, and then sealer/color/clear... the suspension should be finished sometime next week, and with any luck i might have a surprise ready for it in the upcoming weeks.

Got the suspension fixed on the bike today and WOW, what a difference. It rides sooo much better! Especially at highway speeds, it feels 100% more stable. Im likin' it!! Pic of the new ride height... New kickstand so that it will have the proper lean angle when parked.. lovin it!!

yeah, it was for a little while, she is safe inside the shed for now. It will probably be one of the last things to get moved though, it's going to be hard for me to deal with leaving her outside, maybe i'll just build a ramp and ride her into the house at night lol...

Build Update:Bought a new Toce Exhaust system which came in this morning... Got it installed and took her for a spin. Looks and sounds MUCH better than the two brothers exhaust that was on it... Pics: Goodbye Two Brothers.. Time for a little cleanup while it's opened up.. Much better.. New Piping.. Looking good, almost done.. Time to test drive.. Paint should be coming soon... (hopefully)

thank you, I agree, now i am just trying to figure out how to set up the lights and rear tag..
i want to be visible, but it needs to look clean too. Just weighing options..

ITS OFFICIAL!!!
Becca has agreed to take on the painting of the bike with me. We have a theme picked out and there will be A LOT of custom art involved. We start later this week. I'm super stoked!!!

Becca drew this a while back on a bookmark, it will be used as the basic idea behind the paint scheme which we are calling "post apocolyptic steam punk" thoughts?
