Very sharp.
I was torn as well, but I knew it had potential and with hard bags, it was a good choice since my wife rides with me a lot.

Wow that looks great. I'm hoping to do mine the same. Slowly over time. I'm really not a fan of chrome. How did you black out the front end?

It's not that bad, the dash was kind of a pain as well, but worth it.
