    I got my dash figured out today. made a couple of wooden prototypes before I did it in aluminum. In the middle of the plate (or maybe up from the middle a little) will be a ram mount 1" ball to mount my galaxy tab to. Still waiting on the shock. Now I get to start wiring.

    I was really hoping to get the heated grip controller on the dash, but there just wasn't any space.

    well I got the shock back from cogent but there was a problem with the adjuster not clicking. it turns out it was leaking and I had to send it back. Now i finally got it back again in perfect working order and got everything setup. While the shock was out i installed a new brake line and 320mm rotor, which I like. So with the nice weather today i rode it out to Enumclaw.

    Rick from cogent is going to be sending me some custom rate springs for lowering the fork 1". that should put it at the same height as the stock fork.

    Thought it looked familiar.....:D

    Nice looking bike! I've had the guys in Auburn powder coat a few different things for me also, very reasonable and easy to work with, especially if you bring cash. :wink:

    I believe it is, or actually about 10 feet from it. I needed to borrow a less busy piece of pavement for the pic
