Wheels are from southern motorcycle works, 18" apes, getting my seat redone with custom work. The paint is 2003 GM cobalt blue, silver pinstripe and gloss black with custom pin striping.

Thanks guys. motor should be done pretty soon. I milled the heads, did a valve job, bored cylinders, i had my complete engine powder coated gloss black. bad news is the sleeve that holds the bearing race backed out .064. Hopeing that heat and a press will push it back flush. if this happens, ill be rolling here pretty soon. I black the whole engine out with diamond cut. should look pretty slick, im excited.
