Oh man, it looks like you're working in even less space than I do. Is that rental storage space or something?

You should really consider bagging as you go, makes it all go back together much smoother.

I agree...looks great!!!

Also noticed you swapped your seat setup for a mono-shock setup...how's that workout for you? Haven't seen many of them.
