    the front end had me worried but a trip to the local suzi shop found that bandit's and busa head bearing's have different part number's which made me shit but a quick hit with the verner's found they where the same bearing...thank god

    side on you can see the size of it,but im going to have to take off the sub-frame due to it being the same width as the top brace on the arm and they'll clash when the shock is depressed,so that's another thing on the list

    when i walked around the back for a look i was blown away by the transformation from wat it use to be,i had every intention of going with riser's and bars but after seeing this the clip-on's are going to stay, all though im going to raise them with a pair from frank's racing based in S A, they do a billet top clamp which can be bought at a 20,40,60 or 80mm rise in the clip-on's
