      and i am doing that, but with mismatched parts... cuz i didn't want 3 spoke wheels, and honda OE wheels are cheaper. and this is what i do. i want some custom stuff and then make life harder on myself.

        NICE! i remember that video now. i think i watched it when it was fresh a couple years back. that might be a good option to get started. I feel like that will take less of a toll on the metal too. Thanks for the link!

          We're onto the 2nd page, and no pictures yet? You know what they say... pics, or it didn't happen!

              Here are a few pics of the bike, wheels, and tank. Will get some of the forks, and the swingarm when i get a chance. they are harder to get to at the moment. I pulled the front wheel to put a different time on it, and didnt get it on there yet... procrastination sucks.

                I like your choice of wheels. What are they from?
