That's looking sharp, Wistech. Looks like somebody has been getting up close and personal with a buffing wheel!
Now the hard part begins!! How long do you expect before your finished?

No real polishing ,just some mothers and a towel. My goal is to get the engine running by midweek. Hopefully the front suspension will be back from the powdercoaters and I could take it for a ride next weekend.

Didnt get much work time on it earlier this week but I decided to work through the night last night an by dawn had the rear suspension on wiring in and all fluids filled. I cant put the airbox on till I get the steering stem from the powdercoaters to fire it up.I ran into an interesting problem, the decal on the ecm has the numbers wiped off. So if I need the unlock code for the d&m kit I will have to find the correct serial number for this ecm.:hammer:
It looks like I will have to make a billet sprocket guard and stator cover to get rid of the black plastic ones. Wouldnt a stator cover with a clear window look cool?Hmm
