I have every single part for every build. all waiting to go!!!

Did someone say Big Daddy? Made some changes to mine. I may swap the sprocket for a 40T, the 36 makes the chain hit the 990. Makes a terrible noise.

The forks aint that hard to get, its the 1" (or just under 1") clamp on stem that is the hard part. Even then, you could get a 1 1/8th stem and shim it out.

Now, who has some of those forks that might be for sale?
