      It was either

      "Everyone respects him. For of all the deer in the forest, not one has lived half so long. He's very brave and very wise. That's why he's known as the Great Prince of the Forest"

      or

      "Run, Bambi! Run!".

      What tires are those? I like the tread.

        the rear is a dunlop d404.. the front... i forget. ill look when i get home.

        and at least i kept the rear shock on the bike.......... that was almost a mistake. (was going to get struts... but after reading on here about peoples back problem and not being able to walk i changed my mind)

          Ambitious try...........actually it was: "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".

                      There ya go !!

                      Good for you buddy !!!
                      Looks like you went through quite a bit if it to make it yours .
                      Enjoy a great riding season ...
                      Maybe get some black rear shocks to soften the appearance of having them on there ..versus chrome might give you more of the look you are after ...but with some comfort too

                        Runs and ride like a dream. I think I'm going to run it as is for the season. I'm riding to americade this year (2weeks) leaving saterday may 30th. Over the winter I'm going to rebuild the engine (new gaskets and polish the insidez and tranny. Paint everything black. Basically. And thanks for the positive comments. I know some just can't handle someone "chopping" a bike. But I Want it to stand out and be reconized. Don't wanna be another one in the crowd.
