As far as I know its stock. All I did was paint it. I'm a little unsure about a few things on the bike really, the main thing being the gas tank. I have a stock tank that doesn't fit this frame. The new frame is an 03, the old frame an 02. Could there be a difference? I just bought it and started working lol

right on, i was just curious, it kind of looked different- the paint was probably what threw me off. the angle on the tail to rear wheel looked different

ya, buying second hand bikes, you never know what you're going to get. lookin' good though

Yea the pic where its partly together and angled it does look funny. But whatever. It will be fun to ride either way. Need a chain, back brake line and a battery to be able to ride Just in time for winter too!

Welp, the chain is on and it moved around the shop under its own power. I got the rivet style master link but haven't correctly installed it. That's the next thing to do. I ordered my headlight earlier. I'm now waiting on it and my brake parts. Then some wiring and its road ready! Not complete, but road ready. Can someone tell me which connectors on the harness are for the blinkers and tail lights? I may have a fuse blown for them. They aren't getting any power when we put the meter on the 2 I'm pretty sure ARE the blinkers.

Well its been a while since I've made an update. The bike will be done as soon as I find a master cylinder and bleed the back brakes! It has an after market one on it but its apparently shot. I got my new front tire on, a delkevic slip on with midpipe, and my steering stem bearings replaced. Its sweet hearing it fire up with the new pipe. Will post pics soon.

Time I really don't know. I expected to have about 1400 in it, but ended up with right at 2k. I did a lot of maintenance. Chain, sprockets, tires I don't know what all lol. I rode yesterday and froze my nuts off but couldn't stop grinning.
