WOW top job Steveo  :) I can still remember first hearing the sweet sound of a X when one arrived at our local track it looked an sounded fast compared to our TMs and Hodakas. I look at my TM and RM all the time and see the imperfections of my work but nobody else see's them, its our own critical veiw of the resto we do to prevent others from pointing out faults.I am trying to live with it ;)

You have done a wonderful jod on the X, and trust me, you will love riding/racing it. Dont listen to anyone if they say a thing about the rims or anything else that you might think isnt totally spot on because at the end of the day its so much easier to just buy new stuff an bolt it on than try to restore original equipment. This bike is a credit to you, and I hope you have alot of fun on it.
If at first you dont succeed, give up and drink beer

yeah its been great working on it with dad, he is stoked about it. Which is great becuase he hasnt really had any hobbies just worked all the time, but since i dragged this out from his shed he has been right into it!

Pics of the DG bike will be up soon, when we start on it! Its going to be a racer (well, rider im not so into racing) and ill do a full build up on here.
