Thanks, its coming out good. For 13" I would go with +8 on the clutch and +6 on the brake. I went with 10 clutch and 8 brake and I have plenty of room, almost too much slack. Ill try and get some pics when I get out of work today.

So its been a while without an update, I've been busy and the bike is pretty much finished and ready to ride, except for one minor detail...the wheels. Ive had the wheels off to powder for 5 weeks!! The shop I took them to outsources the powder and apparently the shop had a difficult time getting the powder on the wheels. The pulley and rotors came out perfect, but the wheels did not. Apparently they were coated twice and had bad runs in the final product. They were then sent off to get chemically stripped, which took a week and a half, then coated again today. Thats the final word I received at lunch time today and they should be ready to pick up tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will be a roller by tomorrow night. but we shall see.
Ive had plenty of parts powdered before and its only taken a few days max so I'm a little pissed to say the least since its been on jack stands for the last two months exactly!! 237 miles on the clock and she's eager to tear it up! Ive never had a problem with wheels getting powder like this before at all. Anyone else had this issue? I doubt it haha

How do you like the Saddlemen Step Up seat? I'm a couple inches taller than you are and I've been tossing the idea around about getting one. I want to set a bit higher and a touch closer to the bars. I've got a 2-up seat now but it's some off brand seat (I think the sticker says C&C traveler or something like that.)

I love my step up seats on both bikes. They're a little stiff at first, but like anything else they need some breaking in once you get some miles on them, you'll dig it. They are also super cool people over there and easy to work with. One of the best companies I've dealt with, and I'm not just saying that cause they commented on this thread. There is plenty of A holes out there in this industry, but they keep it real and are on top of their sh*t.
