The Build up - Part 1

Christmas Eve, a bottle of Dimple Scotch, and a Brother in law... equals a very funny & greasy build up! Its amazing how long it can take to clean out a bolt hole that is full of soda from the blaster!  hehehe, Educated thought did prevail, and a combination of a vacuum and WD40 blasted that rubbish out! :)
 I was going to clean up the OEM shocks, and put double bump stops on them, but, alas, my travel reduction plan was thworted by the new undertail.  Damnit.  New longer shocks need to be purchased ASAP.
Hmm... hang on, maybe I can lengthen the mount on the shock body. 

 Of Course, due to an overzealous desire to 'finish' it, handle bars were installed well ahead of schedule!  The Pro Taper's look just right :)

 Installing my newly rebuilt carbs, was a particularly funny and difficult thing to do, with two guys being weakend by scotch!  Be-gone airbox!  The pod filters look awesome :)

Check out the side covers! A set of stainless/alloy allen bolts will be used for the side covers ... will look very flat tracker.
It looks so awesome, what a xmas present !  I am one lucky husband :)
