I like everything about the bike except the mirrors. With the sharp angles of the handlebars the round mirrors look a little odd to me. You did a great job with the bike!

Came out looking great. Is that a 4" headlight? The front end dwarfs it.

You know when I looked at my pics again I see why you think its silver rockerz. But the color is actually a custom colored Desert Sand Mica. My painter started with that color and I asked for the gold to be backed off and more silver and a touch of black. maybe you can see that from the pics?

This was the original color...


The middle one is the final color...started with the left one but too much violet so I wanted more silver. Then there was too much silver to the right...I asked for more black and the middle one was the result.

Yea the mirrors could have been way more rad but these were the only ones I found (quickly) that have blinkers in them. I wanted to keep the front end clean. But I hear ya...

Lmao Kowan..I showed my girlfriend your msg and we were cracking up bro! When I was shopping lights I looked for yours on here and showed her that it wasn't what I wanted because I think its so big. So its so ironic you would mention mine...lol

I did do a lot of thinking and measuring (and worrying) about the right size one for sure. I got this one (the 4 1/2") and stayed with it because I wanted the WG to look bigger and didn't want to overshadow it. But I may go with a 5 3/4" down the road (and probably should have. Although I'm not a huge fan of bigger lights I do appreciate everyone's style for sure..and yours I like. We're just not fans of each others choice of lights..lol
