Default some pics of my bike

just wanted to say thanks to all you guys that have helped me work on my mochine.i know i sometime ask some off the wall stuff or i dont always make myself clear but for what its worth...thanks.it would probably be a pile of bolts laying on the floor if it wasnt for this place.my other bikes had been crotch rockets(besides dirt) and when i got on this ...the noise....the vibration....what the ???!!!?? funny cuz now it just seems normal.anyway here are a few pics if i did it right.----thanks everyone.----i know its not a beauty queen or anything spectacular but its the best i can do....and it runs...usually....most of the time....again thanks.

the first pic is of my 2 babies the car looks like a pos but it is not.
the last is of my homemade battery cover....i am not sure if i should cut it down(oil cooling??? and for show) or leave it.
oh and i ran out of exhaust wrap.....i blacked out the chain guard and i plan on blacking out the fender braces(or whatever there called)...maybe the shocks i dunno.i would also like to go to the regular plain jane cables instead of the braided lines..i hate those.
it looks basically the same as when i bought it,but i know its better now.new clutch,correct jets installed,new chain,new oil pump/oil lines,new pistons/top end(.30 over)bigger drag bar,new v.reg,new armeture in gen,rewired everything,gaskets/points/plugs and probably some stuff i forgot.i got a rotor and a front caliper i will try to fit together soon/someday
