i like the red strips on the rims. And what are your thoughts on those rear shocks?

Well they look really nice and the price is good. As far as function is concerned I guess we'll find out when the rubber meets the road. They have some adjustment in the spring and some adjustment at the bottom to raise the ride height alittle I think the directions said you could raise them 10mm max. Hopefully I can dial them in to get a decent ride.

Picked up my seat from the upholstery shop I should have given her more direction when I dropped it off cuz its pretty boring but she did a good job just wrapping what I gave her. Now I gotta finish prepping the body panels for paint and get some color on her.

Finally got the paint done. Had to throw it together to see what it looks like before I go get the graphix for the tank and tail.

Still have to hook up the lights and signals but other then that and a peice of fuel line its pretty much ready to go. I'll post more pics when its road ready
