ha ha ha sounds good man! let me know what you want to do on the pipes with as short as they are we can do them for $150 bud
LOVE THE TANK!!! what are you going to do about the tail light? whats the plan on that?
have you thought about slamming the front about an inch or two? or shooting the headlight bucket to match the tins? with the shorty front fender (nice job by the way) the color of the bike needs to pull out to the front end a bit more (IMO of course) doing the bucket or even the trim ring on the bucket would do that very well

I know i keep throwing ideas out there, but what about shaving some of the rear fender off on the front side of the tire as well to show more of it and give it a really bobbed look?
