Hey Steve.  Three rides on the new YZF600 front end, one ride with the new brake lines.  All is working great so far.  I've got a new line for the rear brake and waiting for the second clutch line to arrive.  The company I bought them from made the first one 10" too short.  Will post pics of the rest when I get to them.  May be after the Colorado rally, running out of time before we leave.

The polishing is another story.  A few 3 am nights with 6 am wake up for work.  Its all worth it though.....right???

 :good2: Looks great! I really like the black lines it's kind of stealthy. Nice fork brace, is that a stainless exhaust? Mods look sharp.
 Where did you get the lines and which master cylinder is that or what is it off of. Thank's for the info

Yes,  supertrapp 4 into one stainless exhaust.  Fork brace is two aluminum connecting rods from a small block chev. Machined them to fit the forks and welded them together and polished it up.  Lines from eBay, will check the vendor later. 05 fjr master.

Off for a morning ride in Moab in a few. Weather is great, should be spectacular!

Yes, Moab Utah. Had a great time there on the way home from Colorado!

The ebay vendor is called Eliteparts.  the title of the item says Linespro. I got a four line kit with lines for the clutch and rear brake as well.  The clutch line was made 10" too short.  They made me a new one and shipped it out to me.  It was in the mailbox when we got home from the rally.  Will post some pics when I get around to installing the clutch and rear brake lines.
