Thanks man. I appreciate that. I haven't been able to gwt any good pics of the bike in the daylight to show what it actually loos like lol of course it's raining today. I have a few more brass pieces I want but nothing major. Probably do the pegs and a few more bolts and small things...Pushrod collars eventually too. Also, scratching my head on the grips, Speed Dealers set are awesome but again, don't want it over ran

Yeah I think doing the full brass grip will be over done. Though speed dealer do brass grips with rubber grips. Might be subtle enough. Only thing is if you plan to ride it a lot, solid grips are not a lot of fun, even with the ones with a thin strip of rubber grip

Yea Ink I'm thinkin it might look killer but worried it'd be too much. I ha e Exile solid billet knurled grips now, same ones I had before I tore her down and they have never bothered me. My hands are super rough though and calloused though so maybe that helped.

Finally got to ride!! Stoked as hell with how it turned out. Could have kept going and left it alone until I got the paper to do the tank, seat and fender but I had to ride it and I'm glad I did, had a good ride. Here she is for now. I hate the side profile...something about the stretched tank and seat but, it'll do for now. The apes are super comfortable and the foot clutch setup is a lot of fun but I need more practice before I get in traffic lol.

Yea that'd be kool. Only thing is its a PITA tryin to find grips for my bars. 1 inch left side and 1 1/8" throttle. That's why I went with Exile bc they had clean knurled grips that I had PC. I want the Speed Dealer Grips but again, worried about overkill.

I like them. Again though, I have an internal throttle and it will be a different size on the right
