Thank you everyone for the comments.

I am still waiting on the following to finish the build:
-Suspension to be completed
-Carbon parts
-PC triple clamps
-New graphics
-Chain

Still trying to source the following:
-PC foot pegs
-PC cluch cover
-Flo green rear fender
Found someone selling full kit flo green for $250.00. I've been trying to find any clutch cover besides boyesen (they wear super fast) and it's literally impossible. Hope your search is better then mine. Good looking bike man motor makes me drool

Thank you.. I have all the flo plastics except for the rear fender. I found somebody who has it but wants too much for it, might just have to do it. yea I will not put the boyesen covers on, would rather run these stock cover.

Do you think PC might make clutch/stator covers if we would do a group buy ?

I did ask PC about a clutch cover. They have no plans on making them again. Only made them for a short time. I dont think they ever made an ignition cover.
Also asked Hinson about a clutch cover, they have no plans as they never made one before

Are the PC triples going to be stock or shorten offset?

What a beauty! And that nickel frame looks very special in the sun. Wow.

It would be nice to see the subframe and swingarm in the same colour as the frame. Would a light coloured cerakote be possible?

Have you used NEXT lever(s) before? How are they? Im sceptical about them because of the low price.

Edit: Checked the price, no idea where i got the feeling that they are low priced... Anyways, my questions still remains. Smile

Thank you!
It would be hard to match the Nickle plate color, it deff is unique
Other issue is that frame is steel and subframe/swingarm is aluminum so that will cause differences
Im happy how the raw subframe and swingarm looks

Is the complete clutch lever perch good also? I have read that the ARC perch makes for almost no up and down freeplay because of some extra little thing in the perch or whatever. Is the NEXT one like that also? Im really bad at thinking through what questions to ask, always end up posting multiple times lol..

Yes that is what I have, the complete clutch perch with lever. There is no up and down play. lever is tight in the perch. I dont know if that is what you are asking.

I did have an issue with an aftermarket clutch cable (would not allow clutch cable to fully engage on arm inside the ignition cover) So that is why there is no clutch cable on the bike in the pics. New OEM cable is on the way

Yes thats kind of what im asking. Except every clutch has very little up and down play when its new, its when it gets used that the ring where the bolt goes through (and maybe the bolt also) gets worn out. Which leads to up and down play. Maybe i misunderstood, but thats what the design of the ARC lever was gonna prevent happening. Maybe there was a video i saw about it, but i cant find it right now.

Looks good, you find some a kit for it or just coating the stock suspension?

Dude this thing looks crazy! My eye caught the MX32 logo though, those are either factory stickers or you hand painted them perfectly. If they're stickers, where/how'd you get those! They're sick!
