Just got the new tank installed with paint version 2.0. It was mandatory that the scheme retain the original "Bumble Bee" colors but with a little more sting (sorry....) Tod, man of infinite tricks, did the work flawlessly; Thank You!! Next stop, Black wheels... This is fun!!! -brent

Lookin' good Brent. Can't wait to see the black wheels. So are the rims getting powdercoated?
Btw, got my battery yesterday and installed it right away. Works great, but is it a tad taller than the stock battery? Sure seemed that way when I put back on the top plate and the chrome strap.

Very Nice Brent!
Here is another idea, laser cut some flames on the ends of your exhaust to match the solo finishers.

Brent, nice lookin' bike. It reminds me a little of a 1970 SuperBee a friend of mine had & he called it a "Taste of Honey" 
Young enough to care-less & old enough to know-better. Sooo how do you like me now!!! Whaaaat!!

Very nice Brent. Are you planning on putting the badges back on or leave it naked?

Thanks guys! Tha badges are on now. We just moved and I couldn't find the tamper proof torx bit before snapping the pic. The flame tips on the pipes has been an idea floating around my head for a while. I think it'd be real sharp. At the very least, a set of straight cut EPCO's with reverse flames in VHT would do the trick...
Derek - I haven't noticed the AGM battery being taller on our bikes but I'll certainly look into that. Thanks for the heads up!
The wheels will be powder coated gloss to match the risers with a slim yellow stripe around them (at least that's the plan). I think I saw something similar in a post somewhere 'round here... You get the best ideas from the PhotoPost!

Hey Sal, I've always had a tight fit getting the battery cover BACK on, even with teh stock battery, I just think it's a tight fit.
