Title: Frame Cleanup!
Post by: El Matador on May 22, 2008, 09:40:43 AM

So Yesterday I did some relocation and frame cleanup with C_Bartlett (He did almost everything while I just kinda hung around) and the finished product came out amazing. He welded some custom bracket to the frame and we were able to get rid of that nasty useless box under the seat and rerouted some hoses and added a breather.

Mayor Props to C_Bartlett and his welding skilllzzz, the force is strong with that one...

Pics  ;D

Very nice! [thumbsup]


I want to do zip removal and wiring dress up soooooo bad. But my plans for that project involve a bit of time and some of that green stuff.
