nice.

Yeh the subframe kit was easy as hell to do, just took time, almost 2 hours start to finish. It would have helped if I didnt run out of machine oil as soon as I started, but apparently chain lube makes a decent substitute. Really, I just took my time, gave the bits plenty of time to cool off, and used an extra intermediate drill instead of jumping from the small supplied bit to the large one. I also was able to drill the hole straight enough that I didnt need a hammer to knock it in, it just slid in like it belonged

Good preventive stuff. I love working on my bike. I don't care how big or small the problem. It just makes me feel better. It's my therapy
