Looks great! What handle bars are you running? I have been looking for a bar that is about between a speedmaster and america...looks like you found it.

RE: Fork boots, I saw a Bonnie that had been lowered and they secured a set of thin stainless exhaust wrap clamps in between the pleats a few folds from the top then cut the boot off above the clamp. They only had about 4-5 pleats left so it didnt look squashed. It took a pretty close look to tell they were cut. I would assume you could do the same with black zip ties? Just a thought.
