perhaps a bit too low, but isn't hitting everything bigger than 3" tall with the heart of the lubriation system worth it to look so goddam awesome?!
Seriously...that bike is bad ***. I'm not a huge fan of the black inverted forks, but the new shields on the pipes are ****.

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, losing the oil tank is not a good thing. I may redo one next year. Right now it's time to ride.

No, no pics of me riding it yet, but the mids sit a little higher than on a Dyna. Once I get moving I usually switch to the highway pegs, but it's nice with the mids too. Kind of like riding a Sportster on steroids.

Looks really good. Any pics with U riding her. Would like to see the position your in with the bars and mids.
Congrats on a great build.

Nice work. I have the same derby cover on my Dyna. I have been doing other projects this winter too. I'm doing a Kawasaki triple right now, and I did a supercharger, headers, dual S/S exhaust, gauges, etc. etc. on my 454SS pickup.

Wow! Cool bike. I've been following your progress, and it's been very inspiring. While you've busy, I have, too. Check out the new gas cap cover I stuck on.

Outstanding, when is it ever done though?
Time to chop up the Dyna now?
