How fast were you going when you saw the light was red?

i may be able to straiten the exhaust. but i dont know anyway to check the radiator to see if its leaking. but looks like the front end is the main problem right now. if anyone has a left fork tube id settle for that right now. still going to do a swap though. guess if i have to ill park it for the summer. and tear it apart because it still has the stock cct's anyways which need to be replaced.

I have a back up crap (stock) complete front end with triples. I can make no guarantee beyond visably striaght, but I can let it go for cheap if wanted. And yeah, get rid of those stock CCT's. I think most of the veterans have had an unexpected top end rebuild by now (see sig).

Speaking of sigs that red corbin smuggler can be sold too...too tall for me.*SOLD for tire money*
