Nice progress so far! Any chance you mounted the wheels yet to see how well they tuck?

I really have no idea, all I can say is measure the width of your frame at the out side mounting points and I will measure my saddle and see what the numbers are.

cut a hole in the fire wall to clear the brake booster. and hyd clutch.

crossfire84 · 03-28-2013, 06:04 PM

I hear that, sucks budgeting your build week to week. thats where I'm at right now. Sometimes I get myself in a little trouble with my credit card but I try to keep it tamed. Doesn't help when summit sends you a summit credit card offer!!!!
