I sat On it long enough. This morning I drilled out the final internal cable. It was a lot of work for 1' of internal cable, but it looks way better.

I will get some pics later.

How is the seat shifter working for you?
Is it awkward to use?

BINGO!!!!

Anyone that thinks they are finished and they have seen everything is bound to get hit upside da head with a cold can of whoopazzzzz!
You got the right attitude from past build offs. You have to keep your eye on whats going on with the works in progress and even those sleepers on the back page.

I really dig your build. Just want to make sure mine measures up!!! :D
Completely differnt styles, but I knew from the start that you would bring your "A" game as always!!!!!
When I am done, I want to be able to say that I held my own.
I am not done yet, so we'll see.
I also guess that you aren't "done" yet either!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

I am running into problems, but they may be in my head. My goal is to make a legit rider. I pan on riding it off road as well so adding things like fenders, chain guards and fairings are not Hapening. I cant have these things rattling around and flapping in the breeze. So without these things it leaves me with little to work with. I am afraid my build may look to bare at first glance.
