A couple of hours, a couple of Jimmys, some Alice in Chains and some help and advice over the phone from Phil (Road Captain and Creative Director for ZRX development) and Project Orleans is complete.

All done in a night, just need to go over it all once more to make sure nothings going to fall off.
Project Orleans wouldn't have come to fruition without the help of some very important people
Many Thanks to........................
Phil (Road Captain and Creative Director ZRX Development) for the contacts in Japan, various suggestions for improvement, encouragement, technical assistance, phone calls, texts, brake line lengths , fitting tips and tricks etc, etc...and convincing me that waiting till Friday to put them on was just soft
. Thanks mate.
Drew from Unobtanium. What a sesantional bloke to deal with. Organised the forks, Brace and Guards from Japan, packaged them all up and got them to me. Check out his website - google moriwaki man or unobtanium , you'll find him. or just go here
http://moriwaki-man.com/portal/index.phpMy apprentice Ozzy....you were there in spirit girl even if you slept through the whole thing. (OK you had a big day getting Xrays at the vets)
My wife Dee for not once questionning the wisdom of constant modification at a cost ( I think it's got something to do with keeping me in the garage and out of the house)
Alice in Chains for the soundtrack. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell rock.....Man in the Box is great workin' music
James B Beam...........I need say no more
and finally the Google English /Japanese translator for the project name......who would've thought Ohlins translates as Orleans
I love youse all......................
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.
