Installed KYB usd forks
FMF Gnarly woods pipe.

Need to do some finish work on the lower headlight bracket but otherwise it is done.

That's an interesting routing for the brakeline. I was wondering what I could use to fix the lower end to the forkguard. Is that something you made yourself?

My alternative is to follow Indawoods plan and route the line through the lower guide and then fix it to nothing on the forkguard.

Good work. How does it feel?

I used several zip ties on the inside of the fork guard, works fine, not as pretty though but does the job.

I used a small piece of Alum angle and riveted it to the fork guard. Put rivets in from the backside so that they dont protrude and scratch the slider. then used the stock cable clamps bolted to the angle.
