well, here she is..... i got it and it was a little scratched up with a little gouge, and one side was a little dark, some decent scratches from riding.... i took care of that! well, mostly.... there is the one gouge up by the gas cap area, not too bad....and most of it is really shiny, i got to get some new 1000 and 2000 grit and some more polish and she will be good to go...all the rest of the stuff i need is on the way....and no, i dont have the whole kit, i have to mod the radiator brackets and lower triple, but it will look and work just as good as the real thing....i promise. :cool:

keep in mind the white crap is dried polish....

ok, for guys that just have the tank and shoruds, this is what i did.....

1st, you have to make these brackets, keep the lower radiator bracket mount bolted to the frame and space it out with 2 stainless washers....

2nd you have to line up the lower shroud hole..., which can be done by bending the lower rad mount with a pair of channel locks carefully, make sure its done right!

tomorrow night or wednesday night i will post up some more pics and lower triple modification steps....
