    Last pictures. I'm gonna finish it up tomorrow and take it for a ride and see how it feels. Seat is more angled up in the back, so maybe I wont have the "Oh **** I'm gonna slide off" feeling when I nail the throttle from now on

    Ok, so here it is, done for the most part. I have weld on a new tab for the rear master resivoir (The one that was on there, I kind of got it to hot when I was welding it and it kinda of melted . You can see the remnants in one of the pictures). The trail pros were for a weekend escapade where I didn't want to chance ruining the pro wedges. Just reminded me that much more how much they suck as a tire heh. Enjoy the pictures.

    WOW you are a lot better at welding than me. That sub frame looks works. I can't believe that you still don't have a silencer on it. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks man, the silencer is my next plan of attack I think. I want a center mount style one that will go right down the middle of the subframe in the back. My hangup is getting the pipe bent right to do this, and finding a nice round silencer. I've got an Answer Tri-Z silencer that would work great if I hacked it up, but they are kind of rare and I'm trying to keep from doing that.

    edit:

    That wasn't really my intention at all, Its just that I know mine ISN"T perfect, and that 99% of the people who read this probably isn't either. Heck the guys who do it for a living screw up everyonce in a while. All I was getting at is, that I know it has some imperfections
