Default 883r bobber conversion

Hi all
I recently took the plunge and decided to go custom and convert my 06 883r to a custom bobber my buddies at Redstreak in Ma have put alot of time into creating my bobber and its nearly finished the paint is almost finished and the pinstriping is the last thing before re-assembly. This project has been going since Jan. It has a weld on Ledsled hardtail
new oil and gas tank, new rear fender, drag bars, wideglide front end, bobber headlight , bobber seat, arlen ness air filter, thunder header exhaust, too much to list
tell me what you think
attached are pics before paint and the painted parts before pinstriping ( heavy gold flake and black the pinstriping will be red and white)

Looks good man. Got the same bike in the garage waiting for the funds to do the same thing. Is that a Led Sleds rigid weld on?
