[QUOTE="bbtank45, post: 716557, member: 4340"] Nothing earth shattering to update on my build but i have made some improvements. Starting to finally enjoy it.....wasnt very happy with it when i first "finished" it. A lot has been maintenance and working build bugs out. 1) Did some shock revalving with Scott @ Sunfire and added bumps to the front.
