This bike started out as some of you know in a crash at 67 miles. I bought it wrecked and turn it into what you see today. I really enjoy this bike but it's one of many and still to this day only has 1000 miles on it. [image]  [/image]  ]photobucket[/url]  ]photobucket[/url]

It's always been one of my favorites to look at. The more you look, the more you see. But also, as the owner of an '06 Graphite/Silver, I've always had a weakness for the color.

Bike looks great. I am almost to the point that I would trade my spokes just to see them on it....

Still one of the greatest and most tastefully done custom BAs I have ever seen! And Dennis, I know you're lookin' for a set of spoke wheels for that beauty now, but dude, while I think those would look very nice on your bike, I gotta say I think you're messin' with perfection now! (...though I HAVE always thought a chromed valve-cover would look mighty nice on that baby!)
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)

I fully agree. Please keep the chrome cast wheels.

the headlight was a few victory parts I managed to put together. It was I lot more time and money than I thought it was going to be but I started and just wasn't going to turn back. I wanted it to look like it was always there and the speedo fit into it very well.

I don't like choppers but I like boptail customs. This is a great looking bike. Well done.

Been working on some seat springs the last few mornings before work. I just about have it finished. The bike has never had rear signals either but I have them figured out too. Will post up some pictures when I'm done.

For dertbikedennis... what is that plastic bit hanging at the rear of the tank's purpose? Also, what did you have to do to remove the nacelle from the tank or is that a BA tank? It looks MUCH better without the chrome nacelle. Last, how is the seat mounted... the pics don't make this clear? When you say you are adding springs, maybe a close up of the mount would help. Thanks... probably one of the best looking BAs I have seen.

the part at the end of the tank is a piece of steel that I covered in leather. I didn't like the mounting of the tank showing and wanted to make it look like the tank shape just stopped there. so it really is just hidding the tank mount.I finished the seat springs this morning and really softens the ride.

Hmmm... I like it! Looks like if you hit a big bump, you will need to buy another set of turn signals bwhahahaha I have been thinking about a tractor seat as the stock seat isn't comfortable for me. I may try and shave that back lip off first and put some better foam in... not sure.

had a chance to ride it today and works great. just a little bit more "cush" when you go over anything rough.
