Re:Rebuilding my '00 Roadstar Beater, lots of pics 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Man that's a great job...like an online version of American Chopper without the bulls$%t!! I thought I was doing good just to change my own oil. I'm pretty sure if I pulled all those parts off my bike they'd never get back on again. And if I actually tried to make my own parts, they'd just fly right off the first time out on the road. Great job man!!
