Yes, he has a very nice looking bike. It is a good touch having the headlight bucket painted the same as the rest of the bike.
I don't care too much for the straight cut rear fender, but it seems that many people do it that way. I just prefer a smoother, rounded chop.

LOL yeah....Well there are definitely a lot of really cool looking 48's in this forum thats for sure but in my opinion the ones that are truly customized as opposed to bolt on parts that anyone with a credit card and bag of tools can do are the best. Some of the ideas with paint jobs coming from different users are making their 48's hit a whole different level. it's really a pleasure seeing them as opposed to the massive run of licks bag/exhaust pipe combos floating around. 48's are damn good looking bikes and the custom paint jobs are the best looking ones in my opinion.
