feels good but the front end is heavy at moment cant afford the change on forks to lighten it up a tad wheel is slammed with bombshell brake adaptors which moves the brake 16mm so i could slam it more and pads still reach ,the frame has long back end for sure its 14 slammed tight

Looking good Greg, I'd look into changing that front wheel to lighten that front end, those blank parts are normally weighty beasts

Nice, Very colourful. Not many n/s racebikes look interesting to me but yours does. It's got a late 80's street riding vibe to the colours and is not too tech. The odd "heavy" part stops them feeling too flimsy so I bet she rides lovely. Keep it like that dude.  :daumenhoch:
