My sentiments too. Not knocking the bike by any means. There's some time and dineros invested there.
But I'm a "less is more", conservative styling type. Sometimes bikes are just too busy looking.
I think it's a sweet bike. My preferences would avoid skulls and fishtails but a lot of the creative touches really work. I was really impressed with the color scheme. Reminds me of Radko Christmas ornaments - the colors really pop and have a very festive tone.
I see this thread is about 6 years old. I am trying to do something simular with the 59 caddy taillights. I have them mounted on the back of my bags but because of the downward slant of the bags they are slightly turned up. I wish to fix this problem and notice they sit very straight in these pictures. Can you lend any advice on how to achieve this?
Pointing up was the style in the older days.
Nothing wrong with them pointed up, IMHO.
These point a little to far up for my taste. I am about to tear it all apart and try to get them a little more straight. I was hoping for some advice so I dont ruin the lights.

Looks like a lot of work. I can see the reason your friend doesn't design bikes for a living. The style/theme seems to have taken a turn somewhere during the build. Red White and Blue with skulls? If he likes it that's all that matters Prolly very therapeutic to build it back after the crash. Good luck to you and him.
