deosnt look much different to as i bought it tbh because the money i have spent on it has been to improve it mechanically! but the there will be some changes this month hopefully.

plans are bike carbs, 4 branch, uprated cam etc a 60 or 70 mill drop (havnt decided yet, what you guys think?)

a set of nice wheels and shel be rockin.

peace.

nice work so far, I'm not too keen on the tinted head lights though.

plans sound good, i reckon a 60mm drop and some new wheels you'll be sorted :thumbsup:
