the stock tank has one spot that dips down a tad and touches the head stay. 5 miutes and a heat gun and you should be fine!

Where are you guys getting your shorty spark plugs? can I just run into the dealer and get one, or will they have to order it?

I'm seriously scared to ask this. I am not as much of a noob as I am about to sound like. My project is coming along nicely. I need to post some more pics. I have got the motor in and I'm trying to line up the swingarm, here's the situation. I am having a total brain fart, which way does my damn sprocket go on. Does the raised part of the sprocket go towards the motor or towards the washer? I know this is basic crap and I didn't even want to ask. I thought it went towards the motor, if this is the case I have an alignment issue. Otherwise I am golden, please let me know and be gentle while making fun of me over this :D

you've got it wrong. the sprocket raises up outwards. No real question is a stupid one, better to ask than to ride around on a misaligned chain. :D

Here are a few new pics. I am just in the process of putting all the pieces back together. I should have it done wednesday night. I will keep you all posted with pics. Any suggestions on the silencer mounts? I have a few ideas in mind. What did all of you do?

I used a couple of 2" strips of steel and drilled them out so I could mount the silencer, the stock mounts are about 1.5" off.

on my silencer the mounts were not very far off at all, so I ovaled out the holes in the silencer, but the rubber bushings back in and got it to fit.

She's all done!! I have had it basically done for a couple of weeks but I finally got a chance to ride it today. I love it, it runs awesome and rides great. Thanks so much to everyone on here for all of your help, you guys are great. To anyone thinking about doing this project, go for it! It was fun to build and easy to do. I am into this bike $800 after all is said and done. However I am going to have to replace the right half of my case. I can't complain other than that, this project went really smooth.
What do you think??

I am pretty proud of the rear pipe mount. I saw someone else on here do it this way, thanks for the idea.

Looks great, can't beat that cost. Since it was so cheap maybe you should throw some bling at it in the form of new plastic and a seat cover.
Don't Clyde it, ride it!

Can you post send me a picture of your silencer mount at the rear fender, mine is touching the rear fender, need some ideas other than cutting the fender. Thanks

and the bolt heads match the rest of the bike. I hate the mismatched bolt heads.
I ordered this bolt from HPD and it is way loose in shanmans mounts
