highracer upgrade
hi all, decided, as i'd made a few changes to my homebuilt highracer, i would give it a complete overhaul, paintjob, and a few new components.
so...for your viewing pleasure...!

You have every right to be proud,looks like a mile eater! I liked your spray booth too,lots of things have a touch of overspray in my workshop!

Nice paint job. I'm curious. Did you bend that fork back yourself? Usually if you don't want as much rake, you un-bend the individual fork tubes. Yours is bent at the crown.
