Yikes to that last picture of the piston.

The bike's kind of 'Rhinestone Cowboy' meets 'Electra Glide in Blue', with a touch of 'Elvis in Vegas' (link to Scotty Moore's museum).

I take it you like Country and Western? (No disrespect intended).

Nice job. Those colors really make the bike pop. What will you do now to keep out of the wife's hair?
