Looks Great!
Like the pipes, coil relocation (getting rid of the seat post!) tail light, black accents....etc...
Where did you get the piece to attach the whip to the grip?

Thank guys--
I appreciate the kind words. Like everyone else, its a work in progress. Wheels & rear fender kit are coming next. Figure I'll probably spoke the rear & add a heartland kit on the back. Maybe airride too.

CC--
The quick release on the whip wouldnt fit over the Joker levers, so I cut a small piece of black leather and put some snaps on it with a piece of chain to hook the whip to. I still havent decided if I want to keep it like that or not. Previously, I had hooked a small piece of chain with a 1" stainless ring around the base of the mirror, and snapped the whip to that.

BTW--You're the first person thats ever commented on the center post being gone. Most people dont even notice.
Thanks

Thanks for the info....
I try to notice all of the details...like the whip mount...
IMO it's the little details that separate the great from the good...
You have done a Great job on the details...

thank you, sir. I appreciate that.

And I agree---it IS about the details..Thats what always seperates the good ones from the average.
I try to focus on the small parts--the ones that require a second look.
Unfortunately---they dont always show up in pictures.

Thanks for noticing.
