I'll probably get it out of the shop in the middle of this current deep freeze and just stare at it till Daytona.

Nice looking details as far as I can see, Turbine wheels, sprocket and maybe brake rotors, isn't it!
Why don't you add chrome lower belt guard and rear axle covers?

Heartland has one specifically for the breakout, I just called and told them what I wanted. They have a spring that go's through the axle to the other side and hooks inside the covers.

Hey, my sons wife took the pics! I told her to flip it to Video next time, a clean window would have been nice too!

I was wondering if I were going to go chrome on everything. I was planning on trying to leave a little black here and there but DANG if BroTim's bike doesn't change my mind. I am not one for chrome but it does look great with that color paint.

Jweinstieger, the lights are from Custom Dynamics, they have a great selection of kits.
