A little lube goes a long way

dead sexy

Nice scoot!! too bad about the tank... Hey the tank and the tail light are almost lined up... why not integrate the two?

Im thinking that the chemicals are wicking out of the holes.

I like the change up on the rear frame triangle, flows much better!

One thing... at least on my 850, the boots were left and right..... having them mismatched wont line up with the carb bank... let us know how you make out.. And a side note, I didnt push my carbs all the way and had an air leak that I was chasing with tuning....
