maniac57 Old, Fat, and still faster than you Sep 18, 2012 #1 Heres some pics of the new kit I ordered from ebay. Everything seems to be clean and in good order so far. No junk in the cylinder is a good sign. Now all I need is a good bike to put it on. Last edited: Sep 18, 2012

maniac57 Old, Fat, and still faster than you Sep 20, 2012 #10 More pics These are long metric bolts from the hardware store. I'll cut them to length later. Here's the roller chain I use to replace the chinese crap that comes with the kits. See how good my tank looks with Paul's stickers? (Thanks Paul!)

My frame layout is too small to allow no tensioner. I just tack weld it for security. It's stone reliable.
