my brain hurts just reading it!.....

and i think we all have that corner of parts with plans to get mods done that we just dont get around to/have all the parts for...

like i have a box of yellow plastics waiting to be put on, and a little bondo/paint/frame puck project that has been ongoing since i got the bike over a year ago. I also have the hidden brembo rear brake project to do but i need the caliper and all i just have the bracket for it.

Look up "buell swing arm" on ebay. Often times people don't know which swing arms are which so look closely
