I like it...
VERY nice !!! It's always great to be able to stand back and see the results of your labor (and money...). It's not always "instant" gratification (2 hour quick job turns into a 4 week rework...), but it's gratification just the same.
Now - get off the computer and go enjoy that fabulous motorcycle !!!

Paint and add-ons
After I had the bike painted, it looked odd with custom paint and everything else was stock. So then I added 2-1 exhaust, risers, black powder coat this and that, then apes. Well you all know.

Bike is still sitting at my buddy's house (because we got 14" of snow Christmas Eve).....I'm ready to have it back, and get it broken in. Well, my buddy sells a desk on Craigslist on Saturday. Guy comes to pick the desk up, and when he walks into the garage, he beelines straight for my bike. Starts asking questions about what's been done to it. So, he gets the scoop about the new paint job and 113" motor. Wants to know if it's for sale. Gets told "everything has a price." Wants to know what else has been done to it....Darren tells him "the oil tank and frame are stock- everything else has been re-done."
He loads the desk, and starts to leave. Comes back to the door, and says "tell your friend that I'll give him $25k for it....here's my number." I thought about it for a minute, but I just don't think I can let it go.

Holy chit!!! 25 K just off a glance. Wow, bet that made you feel good. I would be tempted to consider it, but with how much youve done, I would prob turn it down too.
