You have like all the same mods I do, except you did a bit more blacking out on the back. I feel like I have a red twin :-p

thanks JD....yeah everything is coming along....i am actually done working on it for awhile as i need to recoup some funds...LOL...and plan my next phase of work...plus i might be moving to a place where i would have a garage so i am stoked....

as for the stuff...let's see

the levers i got from motomummy for like $159 or so
the grips were from oncycles.com for like $12 or so i think
and the i got the chain (520 conversion -1 upfront) and the red EK MVXz Chain from Carolina Performance (i think)...they were running a special on the board, the chain, sprocket, and speedohealer for some price..i think i paid like $250 or so (not 100% sure)...for all three....
