i thought so too. i asked him if he had any other mods besides the slipons and pcIII and he said "to my knowledge thats a full system" but he didnt sound too sure, and none of the pictures show a good enough angle. im hopeful that it is a full system as that would be a good score.

well its official.. bike is in my garage now.. too bad its snowing like a mofo here.

and it is only slipons, not a full system. overall the bike is very clean, but it does have a few minor scratches, but they are pretty minor. overall i am pretty psyched.
