Sounds like you have champagne taste on a malt liquor budget.

Courvoisier taste on a box wine budget is more like it. It just needs to be lowered. Bad. It looks like it's trying to be an enduro!

Looking good so far. Made a choice on color yet? If it's a long way before you afford SS, then you could always just chuck some bolts in for the time being if you're that keen

Im thinking satin black. With some round hand for the logo. The SS is WAY off. Over a year at least. I'm trying to decide which lowering kit to get. I'm thinking the burly slammer kit since it comes with front and rear for $155. I need to lower both cause I don't wanna run anymore chance of getting pulled for my bars.

Yeah that burly kit looks like a good thing, good price. Satin black never gets old IMO. If you build a bike based on what others like instead of you like, you won't be happy with it hey (just getting my two cents in before you get the whole "there's a sea of black bikes out there do something different" talk lol)

You can be pretty creative with black, using a mix of gloss, and stain black or even flat black. Though you already have a contrast of that natural finished engine which I think look cool against a satin black bike. The day I pull my bike apart to repaint it (if I ever do) it will be similar just with less gloss and more satin
