After the machining is all done, we get the parts anodized. The anodizer usually has the parts for 3-5 days. Anodizing is not required.. but we do it as a way of stamping the parts as "complete" and ready for use... and because it is just more professional looking to us. I would personally recommend waiting out the anodizing. Its also nice because it removes conductivity from anodized surfaces, which can be nice for parts with wiring inside the gas tank.

We will see how the last part comes together and how quickly and go from there. Everything else for this has been taking longer than expected and I trust that the theme may continue.
I can wait.. Its just that the tank is fairly empty right now, but will be full after the track day and I don't have any street tires to drive it and empty the tank. this set of hoosiers should be done after this track day though, so I'll just drive them around to kill the tank.
