Default PROGRESS!!!

So I finally got some time to work on my bike. Today I reassembled my rear axle assembly, installed sprockets, installed rear ss brake line, hotbodies hugger, tripage fe, got my tail all fitted up, and cleaned her up decent for a little photoshoot. The wheels are on the way, powdercoated to color match the blue, with the rear one having chrome lips..

Still to do is the front brake assembly and ss line kit, mount and balance power race mediums on wheels, front and rear wheel assembly and install, CRG click shorty levers install, pressure test and bleed brake lines, install motovation front and rear axle/fork sliders, put on fresh cbrforum vinyls (still waiting for them), install bmc race filter, and a tune. Im hoping to have it all done by easter, I want that to be my first riding day this season.

The tripage fe came out great, but was a miserable install! The bracket you need to drill might as well be made of titanium, I broke like six hardened steel bits trying to get through it, took me like 45 minutes. I dont have a press, which would have helped, but oh well. Let me know what you guys think, im interested to hear, and wont be offended if you dont like her.

Bike looks great vertical!!!! Except for the color..our bikes are eerily similiar. You're going to like the Tripage FE...that's about as clean an install as it gets. Of course...I'm biased on this look we have going RED [sm=smiley20.gif]

Thanks guys! Red I love the look! I still have a little more to do, grips, hrc covers, small things. I should have it all done in like two weeks, just waiting on ups and my wheels! Really I want reds wheels, but my budget does not afford. Soon though!
