Parts are back from powder...just went with a gloss black, that way if i change my mind on paint, im not limited. Will post pictures tomorrow. I had Wheel Doctor here in Cincy hook me up...frame, swingarm, kickstand, brake, mounts...everything looks great, and the took into consideration all threaded holes also which will make assembly nice. Still waiting on carbs, eta a week. However i just realized that perhaps since Mikuni is a Jap. brand, that is the reason for backorders(earthquake).
