Sorry mang, still not flowing for me. Heavens looks a lil better but his looks likes its sitting lower and yours sits higher. Not to mention the flst fron fender makes it flow more. Either way though boss dont even trip there is a reason you dont see those fiber rear fenders in cali cause they just dont flow.

Hit up my boy bull (bull originals) in yokohama vato can probably hook you up with powder he builds some sick bikes.

Looks nice and clean in that rear shot and i agree with bobberevo88 that the front would look good blacked out with those new wheels.

Great write up and pictures. You did a terrific job! I am a fan of the copper top colors as you can see. That Pera seat looks like a great color match to the tank. Not sure about the rear fender yet. It's different and that always takes some time for me to get use to. Wheels look nice to me just enough black with the touch of chrome to offset it. How does the new seat ride? You didn't mention doing anything to the brake rotors were the inner rings black before all this work?

Interesting you should mention that, because now that I'm used to looking at low and long, the stock FB fender looks kinda funny to me now.

Yah, man. I rattle canned the rotors and belt pulley with hi-temp paint (same stuff as the mufflers) and then cured 'em with a propane torch. It was a pain, dude, cuz I used some really shitty paint at first and had to sand, re-mask, then re-coat 'em with something better. That caused some major delays to the entire project. Thanks for noticing, tho.

Thanks to the rest of you for all your compliments. Means a lot!

As I said above, outrageously amazing. Now if you want some ideas, here are a couple of small things that I noticed

-Plug wires - don't go well with the copper paint, I'd say go with black or chrome
-Add chrome axle caps for a finishing touch.
-If you have any money left over after all you've done, think about chrome flush mount gas gauge/caps.
