I bought this for my sons bday coming up with hopes of just repair a few things and have a rider, got a good deal on the thing I guess but I notices while prepping the frame for paint the frame was bent so it has became a full frame switch which is fine because it will be much nicer than it would have been otherwise.
I bought it sight unseen with 2 additional frames, 2 additional rear tires on rims, 1 additional cylinder, a box of what I assumed were ALL the parts. (Not even close) It had 1 intact motor loosely mounted to the red frame. It was missing the entire rear brake system all I have is the lever.
Before I forget I have a spare cylinder I can part with I measured with my caliper and its 2 21/32- 67.4688 with some fair scratches. Give me a shout if anyone needs it, I will price it below Ebay pricing. Or possible trade...anyway I will be adding more pics later.

Your front shocks are upside down! haha I did the same thing once. Looking great though!
 
Its been awhile since my last post I thought I'd update..on 5-9 on the way home from work riding my 05 zuma I got hit head on by an 80 yr old half blind lady in a 2012 Buick, broke my leg in 3 places.
This was a very important project to me as it was my sons 12th birthday present, id like to personally thank AWK as he knew how important this was to me because I explained it all to him when I ordered his full gsxr brake system for the bike, he got a rush on the parts, fabbed it out and got it shipped with plenty of time to get it put on so THANKS BRO!
I worked on the bike after the ER visit the day of the accident till dark, and as more parts arrived that I had previously ordered I managed the strenth to work on it every day up to my surgery date of 5-15. They used 4 screws in 2 bones in my ankle and added a pin and plate plus 2 small screws to my fractured fibula...after surgery till today (Sun) 5-20 I worked on her with the help of my girlfriend jody and my 75 yr old mom broke out her sewing machine to help out on the build. My son couldnt be happier and he now has a nice bike with safer "Awk" brakes to help him stop the beast..thanks again bro anytime I can do ya a favor just ask.

Pics of my wiped out leg on my imageshack acct...browse at your own risk.
