And after:
Needless to say, I have a pretty strong sense of satisfaction right now, and I didn't even pinch the tubes! Can't wait to get her in the dirt now to check out the difference. Hopefully, by this time next week I'll have the XT tank situated, but for now I'm feeling good.
Your bike is looking great. I am in the midst of putting my bashee/blaster shock back on. I had to have a bushing machined for the upper eyeloop and will get that tomorrow. I will be posting soon. Then I will be attempting the front yz/tw hybrid morphing on my T-Dub. This forum is great. The best part is...things are much cheaper to do than working on an old classic car where anything you do usually is at least $500 to start. Keep up the good work.
