Bike looks great!! Only thing that I dont really care for is the chrome on black derby cover. Just my opinion of course but I think it would look better with a black on to match the outer primary cover or both chrome. But if you like it thats all that matters- Id like to see the other side too!!! Great job again!!

Chrome is getting out of style. I like the bike. Especially low ***. I love the look of the silhuette that climbs from rear fender up to front

i think it looks good man! as far as mods go... i would ditch the lower belt guard, black out the front end, and coat the rotors and pulley... here is a WG we blacked out a few months ago. let me know if you have any questions about powder at all

Would be good to see a pic of the show side as well. From the pic you posted, bike looks great. Nice balance of chrome and black powder. Like previously mentioned, black lowers might look good, especially since you have black handlebars, and break up the all chrome front end.

Just personal preference, but I like the Magnum Black Pearl cables much better than the plain steel braided, and I think orange wires might match better than the red.

Overall, bike looks awesome.
