    Great pics!

    Just a thought, have you introduced yourself to the CBR 6ers forum? What they don't know about 6er's aint worth knowing! Not pulling you away from this great bunch, just a suggestion if you get stuck along the build, or just want to say hi!

    Ah yea their forum using a much older system, bit of a pain in the bum. The easiest way is to put your pics on photobucket and then use the weblink on the photo and paste it in your replies......as I said, pain in the bum!
