Pretty nice! Are you going to leave your front end chrome or black it out like the rest of the bike?

Nice scoot! I am thinking about buying the same wheels (but with chrome rims ). They look great!

Plans are to black out the front. I just picked up a set of nacelle tins for it for now. Fender tabs on the lower legs will be removed as well as some custom ribbing added on the lathe. I'm gonna wait until I have the suspension parts in first though so I only have to break it down once and can get everything sent off to powder.

Aaron over at Vanguard Cycle in Charleston is a pretty legit dude and he's doing all the machine work for me. We've got a set of bars in the works with some trick touches to them and some pretty slick 1" risers. Just wish I made a bit more cash to get it all done in one shot.
