Sorry gonna get some bigger pics up for better detail. Will try and show a pic of a idea I had for bottle mounts. Gonna do a dual mount 1 for shifter and 1 for the nitrous.

Hmmm, I didnt even know you could do that. And does that only work if I do dry shot and not wet? Thanks for the idea though.

Here is bigger pictures. Now you can see alittle better details.







And yea im gonna go that route with the single bottle, ill just go up from a small one to a larger so i can get normal use out of both of them. How about the buttons? I have the air shifter now thats hooked into my horn ad i flip the switch and turns horn into shifter, what button would I use in conjuction with the shifter on?

Arm is too long.  I would have kept the 6 over.

meh as they say to each is own, i love the stretched out look on these bikes. i just seen one from brocks and it had the 12 over and once i have it all done it will look really good. oh and if anyone was wondering i got the arm made from SB-customs.

you should get it powdercoated to match the frame before you mount the bearings in it
