The front and rear tires are Pirelli MT66 Route. They are really great tires, I love them.

Here is "The Good Son" at it's final look. I spent 3 hours cleaning up the wiring, replaced the broken speedo holder, put on the Lick's solo bag, added a motocross style one way gas cap valve, decal, and I just need to powder coat the new battery cover. Oh and get this thing registered...free advertising for Bartel's to keep the cops away.

I used the stock choke bracket. You can see in the pics above. Let me know if you need a close up.

I went on a 128 mile ride today and hit about 90 on the FWY. The bike did great for it's maiden voyage. The seat was really comfy, I would buy a seat by Mothroad Customs again. The tank...oh, the tank was about 2 gallons and was rough in stop and go traffic...ate gas like a fat kid eats cake. At cruising speed or full throttle, it was perfect.

the bike looks really good. although im not quite sure i like the fender strut/sissy bar. the fender, in my opinion, is too short for that application. other than that, its a good lookin ride. now enjoy it.
