That is sweet. I have a set of those header clamps I used to have on my chopper. Always liked that style best

Not really a chopper guy but that looks like a rideable motorcycle. I like it.

Yep Jerry, good point. Those shiny telescopic forks just don't quite fit in with the rest of that bike there, do they?!
However, instead of a standard springer front end, how about a blacked-out leaf-spring front end like this one here?...
(...I have a feelin' the good Friar might agree with me here, right John?!...I know how you like those leaf-spring numbers) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That would be the perfect front end for that bike.

maybe that explains why the guy didnt want the leaf spring front end....too expected. Cause the look of that frame practically screams for the leaf spring setup. They might be a bit trendy right now in the custom world, no?

In regards to brokenfixed's response about tank paint... yup I would want a small front fender too
but I love the frame... WOW

Don't know if I could handle that type of ride anymore, but I do like it. Particularly the frame.
