That's a huge improvement, great job I hear ya about cleaning ... I'd much rather spending my time riding a dirty bike than looking at a clean bike!

The bike came out awesome. As far as seats check out LePera.

Put a 21" up front and a 18" wheel on the back and a Lepera solo seat on that bad boy and you will be set!

That is sweet! Loving those wheels too. Gotta say, that pillion looks out of place though. Maybe because it's so thick. Trouble is, with that stock seat, if you remove the pillion, you'll slide right off the bike when you gun it. (damn near did the same thing on mine)

is 'Cholo' the new term? I've seen bikes that style forever and never heard them called that before.
