Let the UPSing begin.

So UPS is becoming a daily visitor at the house now. It's like Christmas everyday for me.

Ebay seat showed up. It'll do. It's fiberglass, I have no sheet metal skills so I'll have to settle or bug Roger to make me a seat section. He's too busy anyways. So its here.

The super sexy Excel rims and Buchanan SS spokes showed, mmmmmmmmmmm nice stuff.
Another $1000.00 bill., Better not stop and add this up, getting scary and have barely scraped the surface of the money pit!
Early mock up.

Pirelli tires, refinished XS hubs, aluminum swingarm, cheap (temporary) Chinese shocks, all kind of balanced here to give us an idea of the future.
The Chinese shocks are awaiting a decent set of used Ohlins, as soon as I can find some. Just can't quite justify a new set at $1800.00 at least not t'til I ride it and see how bad the fork is.
Got some Vortex bars, grips, throttle assembly from an R1, master cyclinder off a ZX6 and clutch perch from the same. Gotta start thinking about cutting up the frame, front brake and engine stuff soon.
