front suspension is DONE!.

got the front forks mounted today. put everything back together. holds fluid great. not holding air tight. i think i got a leak in the fill ports. painting of the forks turned out great. the brake pad needs to be adjusted cuz i can hear it scrape. fucking brake light switch was the wrong one and since it was a special order i can't return it. may not end up running a switch for it since the rear one works just fine. few more tweeks and it'll be all done. still need exhaust, fix the aformentioned air leak and brake pad adjust cut off a few no longer used brackets, burn 1 weld in and finish my seat modification i started today. not bad for 8 months and 800 bucks
