    Can't quite see that serial number on it. You could probably Google it. To me - and I could be wrong - looks stock.

    So I need to get it rideable tonight here is what I'm going to do assuming I can get out of the office on time.

    disconnect exhaust from the subframe
    unbolt top bolts of subframe
    pull tank off
    try to relocate rear coils (Any Recommendations?)
    Make a battery box that will at least put a barrier between exhaust and the battery, I don't like the idea of the battery touching (Still need to get a smaller 4 cell battery or one of those lithium ones)
    take turn signals off of the Ninja 250 that I have and install them on the subframe for the time being so I have turn signals on the rear end.
    Put everything back together
    patch the fiberglass tail so it wont fall apart on me.

    In my head that didn't sound to crazy, well after writing it down it sounds like a bit much.

    On guys so things were going great till this morning when I was about to merge on top the turnpike when I last my clutch. First I blamed the new Chinese levers for something. Turns out that I didn't torque the slave cylinder in correctly and it forced it self apart so I will most likely be ordering a rebuild kit but I'm missing these two bolts can anyone tell me what size these are so I can get a replacements? And is there a guide for slave cylinder rebuilds?

    Well I used FiberGlass for the first time today (cloth), then used body filler for the first time, then sanded it with 80 120 and 220 and then spray painted it red (for the time being) and then went for a 6 hour ride (although there was some waiting and some food so it was like 100 miles) and I am impressed with my handy work (far from perfect but for the first time I'm quite impressed) and here are some pictures

    This was the side that was totally split I think it came out quite well
