Nice! Thanks man. Love it up there. a trip up hwy17 to Wrightsville is definitely a planned trip once I get this girl back together.

Just got some parts in from DCC. went with clip ons, Biltwell kung fu's (which kinda match the mags), some new headlight mounts, and a bar end mirror. Gonna start putting the front end back together tonight!

Could someone steer me into the correct forum where i can post pics and get some feedback? I'm currently much farther along in the build, but wanted to post pics in order for more accurate input from other users. Thanks!

My first bike and my first build so I'm here to learn, listen and share. Found this GN400 in Savannah, GA about a month ago. Put about 2000 mi on it before deciding I wanted to do some typ. cafe racer modifications.
