Looks great! I really like the white and the pipes. Ledsled makes some killer stuff. I'd like to put on their kicker set up.

wow, the bike looks amazing! i agree with ployd, the white looks great. it really enunciates and draws attention to the frame.
post some more pics, i want to see more!
any reason for the right side mount on the kickstand? isn't it a hassle when parking next to friends?

You sir have my complete respect! Even with Progressive 412's and aftermarket fork springs, I would've rated my 48 's ride quality as very harsh.

Kudos to you, build looks amazing by the way.
