[QUOTE="cutting torch, post: 5218, member: 134"] I try to do that, but sometimes it's just worth it to buy a part, such as this headstay that did not work: (It is sitting on top of the front of the head.) [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0741-1.jpg[/IMG] That is a part made by Jfabmotorsports over at kxriders.com.
