Nothing major to report, other then I removed my rear set mounts (I just didn't like them) and I redid the mount welds again as I didn't like it either.. lol I have a new game plan on those, will update later on that..
I did add a new tool to the garage.... Was holding out for a Handy Airlift I got my eye on, but for $200 bucks I couldn't pass it up. Will certainly help out finishing this project.

I had considered ZX10 forks at one point, but decided against them due to the ride hight. I'll be curious how low your bike sits with those forks once the engine is back in :woohoo: Looks pretty nice so far! Hows the engine coming along?
