Turk, these bikes are never finished.  That is one of the joys of building them.  We always find ways to make them better or just to do things different.  Good luck and we will see you at BUB.

I'll be running in the 1650 class right behind you in speed hopefully at Bubs.  Mine still has a bit of work to be done though:
