Three weeks, 53 days.. it's like horseshoes or hand grenades. How close do you want to be?

On a positive front it looks nice. Looks like this bracket turns the nitrogen cylinder to the top. Is that correct?

Yup........................and moves the fittings to the left of the M/C which packages much better.

Nice on the powder coat!

Plus those knock off wheels are cool.

I see the holes where the block off plate was installed, which AC system are you going to run?

I noticed the larger hole for the wiring. Is that for an American Autowire Highway One kit?
