I did! It is looking real good too.

Joe.. I agree with you on the black. I do want something different for sure so it stands out. Problem is I want to shoot it myself and there are limitations to what I feel comfortable with. Wild graphics and killer airbrush work are out of the question, not enough skills there. What I really want is a color/colors you don't normally see on a bike.

Any suggestions???? Anyone???

Yes, I did and it looks KILLA! I commented on it in another thread. This is the one thing that sucks about having your own bike done; I have to live vicariously through you guys...lol

I bet your boy wouldn't mind letting you help throw some mods on his bike. Speaking of the boy, how old is he?

LOL...He's 16 and just got some mods done over the winter courtesy of "Santa". He hated the buckhorns so we had drags installed and we had them change out the stock A/C for a high flow and the cover is round. Just yesterday I ordered him a LePera Barebones. Damn kids! Here's a link to my recent thread about his bike:

Man what a thrill it must be for him to have that at 16. When I was 16 the closest I came to one was when a friend and I would go to Fletchers HD and drool on the bikes. Pretty cool sporty he has there. It's got to be killing him waiting for you to get home.

My first bike was a 74' Ducati single cylinder that I bought when I was 16. Man, I loved that bike and thought I was a bad *** on it...lol
