First of all, thanks very much for all the feedback. Yeah, Mountain Man, got the wife on the job typing.
To answer some of the questions:
Yeah, the tank and the fenders were chromed. We were told that the painter had done this previously without any problems, however it was not guaranteed.
The overall concept was mine, but based on lots of different ideas. I wanted it to look as traditional as I could with the help of all the modern aftermarket parts - if that makes sense. The fenders and the drilled exhaust heat shields were my idea but with the help of the guys at Precision Frameworx. Aftermarket parts are from Fast Eddy's, New Speedmaster, Bellacorse, and Bonneville Performance. Basically I told the guys at Precision what I wanted and they did the job. It turned out even better that what I had imagined.
I can't make it to Nelson because of my work schedule, but I would have loved to have been there. Thanks again, Taheke.
