Nice work so far. Don't call in sick anytime soon as it appears your credit cards are rapidly approaching their limits. It looks like you're sparing no expense though. Keep the progress pics coming.

Ordered a new moose thumb throttle and DG grab bar this morning, other than that I need a seat and to figure out my rear shock. and build the bike lol, getting close though!

I reached out to an eBay seller I bought a pipe spring set from last year before out badlands ride in Indiana. Tapper pointed out one tht busted mid ride that I wouldn't have seen until after the fact lol. Anyways, bought them last July for the 500 and they both broke unfortunately. I wrote them off until I got balls deep in this project and thought what the hell, let's email the seller. David Nicholson of smokey point cycle barn responded and sent me two sets! Great guy awesome company, love that kind of support and will buy from them in the future
