Thanks Keith, most of my pics happen real quick, I don't do much in the way of setting them up. I noticed a bunch of my pics are missing from this thread, I guess I have no choice but to repost them

Dave, your bike is obviously the opposite of mine but it's done so tastefully. I love all the extra touches. You did a really good job making this baby yours. Especially love the paint.

I agree... Those pics are great! I'd be lying if I didn't admit that your bike had an influence on the direction I went with mine. The only draw back is when someone says "shiny side up" it can be any side

my next design will either be very very cool, or I will have ruined a perfectly good tank and maybe even the rear fender

haha! How do you think I feel? I went to bed last night thinking about just how I'm going to cut the tank and wondering if it's ever going to turn out how I envision it in my head

Looks great! Nice silver flames. Am planning on doing similar in red... where'd you get the bag on the front fork? Is it just strapped around the main cross piece of the fork?

I wish I had an actual camera instead of just my cell phone for that shot so the image quality was higher. I'll go again when the colors change for a more autumnal shot.
