Default Here it is

Hey all,
just got back from the shop and shot some pics here it is all done
Im thinking of changing the seat to black flake
It was a bit overcast so you cant see the gold flake really shimmer but it looks sick

Hey dmilo, that looks awesome. Just noticed your mass plate. Where "outside of boston" are you? I am doing an 883 bobber as well. Mine is 89. Where did you put all your electrical parts?
