That **** is sick period. I am liking what you did with the turn signals a lot. The whole bike is sick just a idea i thought would look bitchen the star looking emblem that Harley does making it black with the guts of it red or white guts. Not that your bike isn't killen it. Where did you pop those mirrors?

Mirrors are some Arlen Ness Four Point, went with a Roland Sands Air Cleaner, you wont find my brake calipers just anywhere, from a late model touring, Harley Brembo's with painted screens to match. Lines are also where i ended up cutting the struts and then hacked the fender up also

Great looking bike!!!! I am a bike fan of the contrast of those two colours. I just love what you have done.

Signals are Arlen Ness as well as the grips and foot pegs, went with Roland Sands for the air cleaner and brake and clutch levers. They fit in with my idea of having that deep cut flow from front to back, i know i know, lots of just bolt ons but it was perfect for me.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. This bike is a tribute to my dads oldest brother who was in the Air Corps in the pacific in WWII. He wasn't in the Flying Tigers, but to me nothing says "WWII airplane" like the Flying Tigers. He was actually a C47 crewman. The family story/joke is that they could have invented velcro back then for switching his Sergeants stripes for Corporal stripes every time he got busted. He always said that he liked to think of himself as a Corporal.

My cheap camera never seems to get this color green correct, but you know what it looks like.
