I was going to streetfighter this bike as well, but decided that one streetfighter was enough. This bike will become my Track/drag bike so I should easily beat my PB of 11.777 on Mongrel at Willowbank.

What's the quality/fit/finish of that Chinese plastic like J?

For the price, I feel its pretty good. A litte dremel drill attention here and there to widen screw holes to use those rubber coated bolts and its a good fit. Certainly not the best finish with a few dust specks in paintwork and minor marks in paint, but as stated, what do you expect for $650 delivered.
