yes, very nice.  Your front end treatment has served as an inspiration to Karen. Ive already started collecting parts to get them powder coated.

Did you just clean up the engine or do any painting on it? The silver engine case looks awfully bright and shiny.

A lot of things about your bike are cool... including the rear sprocket. Great attention to detail throughout!!!

lord man did you ever wash the bike? & geez I 've ridden through way too much crap I must give the underside a good look! That being said the end results are fantastic! Great balance of black & chrome. & the painted tank badge is awesome!
