Looks great, really dig the black/red contrast, glad you got it done finally. The whole setup flows well until you get to those fender struts, the flow from front to back is disrupted...the contrast against your paint just isn't the same as the contrast with the dash and the rest of the black theme you got going on. PC those struts and BAM!! I know you said "no" to that b4 but forgot why? Maybe the new dash will sway you...
I guess you could follow a line off of the primary, but they're not a high polished chrome like the primary is. On your ride my eye follows the line from lowers to lamp to dash, to seat, to rear fender...but stops at the seat cuz of the struts not being PC gloss like the rest of it...
In any event, well done.
Yeah, I'm still undecided on the struts. While I get that they disrupt the "flow", I also like that they are very unique. I'm not saying they won't ever be black. Just not yet. I want to powder coat in phases, because I really like the contrast from the shiny to the black on the bike.

Well, if you're anything like me (who tends to just stand in the garage and stare at it, looking for that final "just right" mod), I think before long you'll get swayed to do it. You know that itch to mod is never truly scratched...
Good job 24, great balance of color, black and chrome.
I know what you mean about the "itch". I mod everything I own, most of what my wife owns, and even a lot of what other people near me own. I can't leave anything alone.
