Hmmmmm, all that beautiful blue and you don't have the S&S anodized blue cam plate to be seen thru the see thru cam cover.... all the beauty that "could" be seen...😱
🤣
Joking of course but maybe to add to your list...
Looking GREAT!👍
Lol don't get me started. When I started the build I didn't plan on throwing the check book at it. Which knowing myself I should of known better. So I let the builder pick the fueling stuff. And then was dead set on evolution clutch. But damn it those 2 items do drive me nuts now that I went blue. Lol I figured someone would say something about I know it was all in good fun! Have a great night. Thank you for the comments
Well another quick update. I'm not sure which day will be better today when ingot fully reinstated or the day I pick the bike up! But for today it's definitely today. Been a long long time since I had one of these. The last time I had one they were still laminated. When they handed me the paper I was like what's this. She laughed and said things have changed in the last 24 years.

Well was hoping next update would be picking the bike up. But not quit there yet. 1 more week hopefully. I'm definitely itching but good things come to those who wait!
Getting closer ran into a issue with my Gauge cluster Rebuffini has 2 models one for stock gauges and one for Dakota digital quages well me being me nothing I own stays stock so needed the one for the Dakota gauges. bummer waiting to see what the ETA will be. Being https://www.facebook.com/rebuffini?__cft__[0 is handcrafted in Italy kinda puts a little wrench in the plans. Took 9 weeks to get the stuff from them last time. Hoping they fast track this for me! Went digital gauges mainly cause it has oil temp sensor and with the power I'm running oil temp is crucial.
The Power is getting Installed for sound system. When your running 3500 watts on a bike need some major wiring. DD custom lowering fairing bracket vent delete kit 3 amps digital sound processor crammed in fairing using a curlys amp rack. Dave is working his *** off to make this happen and its definatly in the best hands possible.. Thanks https://www.facebook.com/ddcustomcycles?__cft__[0 Man to say I'm ready for this build to be done is a understatement. Pushing 9 months now engine build and dave to work his magic. Been 24 years since Ive had a Drivers liscenes. Im ready LFG all good things come to those who wait.
Update 7:30pm Once again https://www.facebook.com/rebuffini?__cft__[0 and https://www.facebook.com/ddcustomcycles?__cft__[0 have come through for me. Parts are going out overnight should have them by monday We are still on track for next week!

The build is Done parts list and cost. The bike has made a total transformation. To me it looks bad *** sounds bad *** and the stereo rocks. I’m sure some won’t like my seat option but in the end I built this bike to ride 7k miles a year. So comfort for me and my ol lady were main reasons for the choice. I do have 10k in stereo equipment and carbon fiber thats not listed on here. Not trying to flex but want to be transparent so people know total cost of build is stupid with price of bike and everything 90k. But **** it work hard and play harder!

I would not take a split case repaired "NEW" motorcycle.
New engine, bike or LAWYERS!
just got back from the dealer looks like they are giving me a BN Bike just asked me if i would pay 200.00 for the title work. I will know for sure by end of day or next tuesday. They are in the procces of tearing bike down now. I will add that this is not Harley doing this. The Owner of the dealer I use is doing this. I will update when i know for sure plus Ill add some more pics the bike is getting some goodies put on it. Should have a bike back by next weekend.
