yeah, but after a while it just gets harder and harder to keep putting mods on. I'm getting close to that stage with my car... no more little mods to do and I can't find a kit I like or wheels that I could see myself getting. =(

Coilovers would be nice but I think I"ll wait till next year and let my checkbook recover from all the gifts I need to buy soon.

No rims for me yet. I just put new tires on so I'll need to hold off on that for a bit. Besides, can't find any rims that I like that won't give me the annoying blinking light.

for some reason Bryan, I think your task is a little less involved.

my guess is it was in less pieces when Rodget got it but he's such a perfectionist that he's going to swap out, paint, fix, upgrade, some of the pieces. If that's what you're up to Rodger, that's awesome!!

Powder coated the frame, sub frame and swing arm. Installed all new seals, rebuilt brakes and master cylinders, replaced all bolts/nuts with stainless, installed new needle bearings, new handle bars, grips, radiator hoses, fuel hoses and rebuilt the front and rear suspension, then gassed them with nitrogen.

total time from start to finish was about 28 hours. (about 18 hours of actual work, the other 10 I was sleeping)
