It is kinda growing on me. It will be interesting to see it with some black pipes and the reflectors removed.

hey, question 2.. how tall are you? and how high do the bars sit compared to your shoulders?

I'm 5'11" the bars are right my shoulder height. Maybe a just a smidge below. I had originally bought the LA choppers cable and line kit. But the ABS brake line was the wrong length so I returned it. BTW the cables were all Barnett cables.

different pipes, black the lower forks, pull the reflectors, maybe different bars. and I think red accents would do well too.

Holy crap them 50's are some heavy bitches. That would bog down the front end.
Maybe an M73 would be better.
