WOW!

Very nicely done.  I remember you posting that you were doing a build for your senior project as well.
Looks outstanding.  You should be very proud.

Post more pics if you have a chance.  I know I would love to see them.

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like you have the carbs and airbox/air filters off the bike.  Are you going back with the stock airbox or going with pods?

Yes they are off. I have pod filters. Im not putting the carbs back on until i get the right size jets since i went from the stock 4-4 pipes to a 4-1. Not quite sure what size jets to run, i still have some research to do before i make a purchase.
