I like it, and I agree with those that have commented about a bigger front wheel. It would really set the front end off. Great job though!

Should do something with that seat too, all that work to keep a stockish seat, like a sore thumb to me... To each his own though

I think it looks like a factory chopper from one of the out of business "chopper" builders that someone had to pawn the wheels to make ends meet. That much work into the frame and nothing else looks like it's been touched. I appreciate the initiative a ***** to cut up a stock bike but with the stock swingarm length and the rest of the bike untouched it doesn't look good to me. I've said it over an over, dynes rarely look good when you try to mIe them a chopper. There are a few people who can

a chopper doesn't mean a bike with a long front end, chopper means running the bare necessities . you want to make that bike even start to look like a chopper for gawds sake , ditch the turn signals at least
