| Looks good. I'd suggest tires, they where the best upgrade for me. | |

Tires are the last thing on my list it NEEDS direct steer wiring brakes and a whole gasket kit thrown at the engine then when those are done I can start upgrading | |

| Man, has it been a while. Shortly after these posts, I ended up scrapping it. I ran out of space and it needed to go. I did keep the opposed twin and I still have it to this day. It hasn't ran since 2013ish, I need to get another project to put it in. | |
