Looking good. My 2 cents is relocating the coil and loosing all that plastic under the tank. Round out the struts so it looks cleaner and cut your cam over all the way. I been eyeing the chain conversion kit and that would really finish your look.

I was toying with the idea of removing my front brake as well, just not sure what I would do when stopped at a hill with the suicide clutch...
