Wow! Really cool bike, but other than the tank, headlight, and basic engine, is anything at all stock on that bike!! It must've taken a lot of time, work and money. It looks radical!

Thanks heaps people, yeah pretty proud of her. Really keen to get a peanut of her but the 65mm frame is causing issues in finding a tank.

Any suggestions from the more experienced?

Thanks again.

Looks great. I would not be my style . Well done and clean looking. The LED plate lights fit in well. How well does the light bar show up for a tail light and brake ?
The Tank looks good a peanut would look out of place and you would not get far on the fuel.
