Looks sweet. Are you going to get it plated or will the supermoto setup be track only?

Unfortunately, I can't plate the 08. :standcorn But I do have a couple extra license plates sitting around my garage... :rolleyes:

Well I got a trailer for the car, so it might still make it out for a ride or two. Just has to be away from town and other traffic. :smilewink

No worries man. :thumbup:

Andy and I met up pretty late. Took a while to machine the front wheel spacer to fit my model year. Had to mount the stock brake rotor to the SM front wheel too. The brake adapter also didn't fit my model year. :yell:
But all worked out. Ground down the wheel spacer with my Dremal tool by hand, to .003 inches from perfectly true. :rad:

Measure 147 times cut 146 times. :laughing:

No, I took my time for sure, but it was probably less than an hour. High speed cut off wheel followed by another wheel to smooth it down to the size I needed. Probably would have taken 30 seconds, if only I had had a bench grinder. :rolleyes:
