Post by: kungfunky on July 15, 2012, 08:07 PM: Super sweet build Mick, Red /Gold is just as good a combo as Black /gold in my book :4_17_5:

Dan's work is stunning for sure and a Ripper is one of those frames that really need a quality paint / powder job otherwise the welds get hidden and then it just looks pants.

I'm not a fan of those Helix drop out savers though but they do the job :daumenhoch: the round ones look better and were made specifically for the Ripper by SE 8)

If you're going for Power-wings then fit a chrome post, if the post stays i think Renthal's would go better.
