Default my first build!

i just wanted to share a pic of my first build. ive learned a lot from this site, thanks. some of the best things that i did are using a different tensioner, different exaust and a 36 tooth sprocket. also changed out alot of the hardware. now im waiting for my new clutch actuator from manic. also want to find a way to shorten the clutch and throttle cables. whatcha think?

You can shorten the clutch cable by cutting the housing to length (Your going to need an end cap) and then re-thread the cable and cut to length. You may be stuck with the length of the throttle cable unless you try something like Norm shows.YouTube - Shorten a Cable 2
