Finished the seat tonight. Will be able to access the oil tank and use the original seat lock. Getting close to on road now!

Just wondering if you built up the steering stops because when i did a similar thing with my earlier model RT2 the forks came around & hit the tank because the triples of the leading axle forks are set back equal to axle moved forward on the lower sliders. Me being a rough B$@#$d i just whacked it onto full lock both ways & put perfect dents in the tank--well i needed full lock when power sliding--my excuse. Love your bike!! & those rear shocks.

I drilled and tapped holes on the lugs on the bottom triple clamp, then inserted a bolt to reduce the amount of steering lock. This is going to be a road going bike so I will not need full lock for everyday riding.
