Thank you!! After seeing your build I actually started looking for a new frame to build a nicer one.. :) I first thought of doing new square tubes and CNC'd motormounts.. But then I really wanted it running ASAP...

Also started looking to build a 250 AF as well!

There will be a dyno/jetting session soon!
