          thanks alot! shes holding up great.

          getting heavy into the dental ceramics and i just haven't found the time to finish the tail yet. second time ever fiberglassing so still learning as i go. luckily i passed the hardest part in the process and now theres not a whole lot to do left except build, sand, primer

            for more comfortable riding i'm going to see how this rig is going to work out(ill need an extended front brake line):



            when i take apart the front to test fit bars, im going to bronze weld a steering damper on, not that itll find much practical use with most of my riding, but because i can. hopefuly i do get to the track, though

            back to caressing my tail fairing into the late night. almost complete. trying to keep this my #1 priority. im glad i didn't know how much time fiberglassing it up from scratch would take cause i never woulda done it. looks to be worth it though. this christmas break gives me ample time to finish.

                alpinestars tech aero.. i had an icon urban tank bag that was great for a year but fell apart(magnet holder flaps wore away being in contact with the tank). so far ive used this bag 3 months and its been perfect. no signs of wearing. its weather proof and will extend to be much taller. tons of space even with a 16" laptop in it, but thats about its limits for laptops.

                the bottom portion that includes the magnet holding flaps can be zipped off and is a large clear pouch great for maps. and the top portion doubles as a backpack

                          very easy. just buy the custom spec stem bearings + top race(bottom race is same if i recall correctly). the aggressively angled stock gsxr handlebars will make the stock kat master cylinder very cock-eyed

                            Glad to hear. I want to swap an entire front end. Do you happen to remember what the specs are for the bearing? Is it just a replacement to fit the kat stem?
