Excellent, Soda!! Lookin' forward to seeing her when she's all put back together again!


Ahhh, the wonder of zipties (looks like that's what you used to give her "stitches")




P.S. So just how many of those strawberry daquiris did you have while you were workin'? :lol:

[Vin]

The stitches look very similar to the ones on the R6. :)

Can't wait to ride with you again, bro.

welll..... originally it was leaking from everywhere.. lol
actually from the screw in the right side case but i jb welded that and it stopped it..thatit was dripping very very very slow form the oil nut.. so i siliconed the shitout of it. withteh balck silicon used for engine gaskets.. its holding up pretty good ( knowck on wood)...

next project sis retrofitting some Xenon lights fomr a range rover and audi into the headlight.. ( i got all theparts in except a spare headlight.. ) so stay tuned..
