So here's a pic of the fender on the bike. Tried to get a contrast shot between the fender and the tanks... Looks better in the pic than in real life... But I do like it... Think the rest of the tins are up next...

I like it - black and chrome are classic - and this is a different approach. it sure looks better than the current fad of flat black everything.

I would go the other way and just chrome the rest of the bike!!!! You are most of the way there, couple of key pieces and it will look like the bike was dipped in chrome. As I have said before, soooo shiny.

YES I HAVE.... Quite good at it as I may add... I'm pretty sure I'll be riding it up to this years AMCA meet...

On another note......
I had a request to post pics of my incident on Monday morning at work that now has me out of work for at least 10 days. I was exiting a building walking at an accelerated pace and went to walk behind a Pick up truck that was partially parked on the side walk. Looking down at the paper work I had just completed I was not looking ahead and did not notice 2 bundles of 1 1/2" piping protruding from the end of the truck box. Dropped me like a bag of rocks... Luckily a couple of co-workers were driving by and say me on the ground... It really knocked the **** out of me, so I can't go back to work till my concussion has cleared... I've done some pretty stupid things but this one really takes the cake... I know I can be pretty hard headed but this time my head won't hard enough... LOL....
