Very nice! First piece of new chrome should be front forks. Would finish off just right. You sure made a sweet bike out of a junker.

Nice job. Looks like the So. Cal style. Maybe the rear crash bars that they put on. Great color also.

What are those pipes like for power? Always loved the fishtail look but not sure what the performance is on true duals

That is one classy looking ride! A real showpiece what you can do with a boring stock bike.

Not a big fan of beach bars, but I really like the job you did on your bike.

Nice job. I have a similar setup. 422's, freedom TD's, etc. But how is it cornering? I went down 1.5" and drag the boards all the time. I'm now down about 3/4" and still drag occasionally.
