Looking forward to seeing how everything works out!

good. Take your time.

the wheels and tires are good. Lean easier and more grippy. The mid glide feel more planted. Have rode them heavy yet. I spend more time poking at the bike than i do riding it.

The shocks feel good and im surprised by how much the little change in size affected the height and the rest of the bike. Not as sure footed at stops (I'm 5'9), they feel good though. I need to get a spanner and soften them.

Default Chrome ebayed cases/sprocket covers

Yes i was going to go black gloss/vovid black the i though about the dings and chips and such. opted for chrome instead.

here are the ebayed results after some TLC... looking like every bit of the the
~$60 i paid for them:





immediate "hmm"... the cam shaft bushings do i need to mess with these? the parts came from an 04+ bike and amd the raised lip/shoulder ones average ~1.74mm(excluding the errors of the caliper):
