I think it looks good and just a tad sleeker than the Bones.

That said, the stock air cleaner cover doesn't seem to mix in with the 50s theme, and I kinda feel what others are saying about the rear fender. Though just lowering it would help with the lines of the fender. Just my 2 cents and comment from the peanut gallery.

Love the bars too. Very clean.

OK. That's good to know. I didn't remember that my coil is mounted on it, though. Would have been great to take it out when I was adding O2 sensors to my exhaust!

Default O2 install

They can be a bear with the exhaust on the bike. Do your self a favor and just disconnect them from the wiring harness. Really simple just follow the wires back you will find a squeez connectors. Then install them on the exhaust off the bike. Save yourself from what I did "striped the aluminum threads out of the sensor"

First let me start by saying that is one sick bike! I really like what you've done.. the clean handle bars really stick out. With that said, and It may just be me, but that bike needs a tank lift. With the rear fender kicked up in the back, it makes the tank look a little low. Also one of those round Bobber style air cleaners or a s&s tear drop would look great. But overall sweet bike dude I really like it.
