Wow, thanks for all the great comments! Makes a fella feel all warm and fuzzy inside

I don't usually like to multi-quote but here goes...

Travis at Dirty Kustoms welded the fuel gauge hole, filled in the indents for the tank badges and did the paint. Excellent job!

Pete at Rocket Bobs Cycle Works made the smooth console. Extremely happy with this piece as I finally got rid of the speedo that I so detested. However, it leaves me with no speedo for the moment. I will eventually get around to mounting a motogadget mini speedo in the future.

I do have the rear rotor on there but you are right about the sprocket/pulley. Need to start collecting aluminum cans again.

The seat was made by C&C seats - they did a great job.

Af first I thought Rob was quoting you, Sgt Jim - maybe he's your doppelganger...

Thanks again, everyone for all the kind words.

I had to look at this thread again, was thinking about your bike all morning. I just love the color of the tank & the clean lines.

You have set the bar very high for all of us Rocker guys, now we will all have to save our bottles & cans. LOL

A nice RSD black gas cap would compliment the tank.

Again, absolutely stunning!!!!

That would've made it less creepy. I hadn't even read post #2 when I replied to your pics, let alone 3 pages of replies.
