	Looks great! You should think about having your A-arms powder coated while they are off?!... Green or white or even mix-top arm green bootom arm white Just a thought. Everything else looks so good I could really see getting those coated. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	well i was going to get them powder coated but my frined who paints automotive and like motorcycles said he would paint the arms black with lime green pearlesent flake so i thought that would match and be kinda differnt im kinda worried how good the paint will stand up and almsot had second thought on powder coating ride sleds because bones heal and chicks dig scars TEAM GREEN Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

Powder coat will last longer on those items. Maybe your friend can do the fancy paint on your front and rear grab bars/bumper?! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	well im slowly making more progress with the sled:) i got my handle bar riser and pivot adapter after having to re order a shorter set , i went with a 1.75 rise pivot adapter and a 2 inch block turned out just the wya i wanted 4 inch block was way to much , i also got my control arms back today from powder coating they turned out awsoem and glad i went that rute , since im not geting the green flake i wanted i think im going to go with some pin striping or maybe green flames on the spindles just to add to them , i cant wait to get it all back togther . my debate now is weather i put my factory mirros on the new winsheild or not , let me know what yas think about the progress susgestions always welcome :) ride sleds because bones heal and chicks dig scars TEAM GREEN Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
