Comments from Oscar Cota:
Although the tank we used was impressive by itself, we complimented it with some stainless fasteners and these trick billet tank brackets supplied by our good friend Jonathon Bell.
These pieces will never be seen however that is not a reason to run the old stuff. Everything that could be replaced with with brand new parts was replaced.
There was nothing wrong with the OEM 2001 kicker (on the right) on Sunny's bike..... but we felt that the newer style 2003-2004 beefier OEM Kickstarter was a requirement! In case you didn't know, you can no longer purchase the older style kicker, if you order an OEM kicker you will get the new style.
This item will receive much abuse on the bottom of the bike however it was still no reason to leave it alone. Vapor blasted, polished, cerakoted clear and installed new bearings!
Cerakote was used on many items for this build. However we were cautious do not overdo it. A build can go from exotic to tacky very fast if you're not careful.
