Thanks Naz for the shot of the rear end. 7755, if you were to carry those flames to that rear fender, it would tie it in real nicely with the tank. You done good.

Good looking scoot man ! The tool bag is cool no matter what you carry in it. You already know the front fenfer needs to be painted so no sweat. Keep going man, it looks good.

ORIGINAL: Topspin

Sorry about the fork bag rant, I'm sure I offended a few people. But every time I see a fork bag I just think "Oh look, another biker with a purse, it's so cute I should ask him where he bought it!" [sm=bangbang.gif] [align=right]
[/align]

Does yours match your shoes?
Don't have one. In case you didn't pick up on my subtle comment, I don't like them.

I may have been a bit overcritical, but I don't mix words if someone asks for a critique. I mean LOOK at the question, he essentially said "critique my bike, good, bad, ugly". I didn't put much "good" on there I know. If there's some things I nitpicked about that dsmith like, hell yeah, his bike, "don't change on accounta me!". I don't think HE minds the constructive criticism, a few others are sensitive FOR him evidently.

Few other things:
As Jake mentioned, yeah if you could get some flames to match on the rear fender would be good, BUT since it has the plate bracket on the fender, you'd almost have to go with the plate and taillight on a side mount to make it worth it, otherwise not enough exposed paint to paint on to make it worthwhile.
Front fender, I can just assume it came in the semi-gloss black and haven't gotten around to painting it. I still kinda like the white paint to match the flames, and maybe red flames that match the red on the tank? Or else paint it like the tank and fender, just an idea.
Maybe get mirrors with the front signals built in?
And finally on the fork bag for tools, I've seen somewhere small metal toolboxes that would mount like that? Something waterproof? I always end up stuck in a shower so I think about the leather stuff not working that well, especially with rustable tools.
There's lots about the bike that I do like, particularly the flame job, the forks, headlight, bars, risers, I could go on, I DO like the bike!

Looking good!
Agree with Gilly on the white front fender making the paint job flow better, but it does'nt look bad in black.

Cheers... Ben.
