What tank is that? Or was it custom made?

Find out if the magazine has a website, then email your pics to the editor or staff.
Make sure you write or tell them a story of how you transformed your plain jane sportster to this beautiful bumble bee-muscle car camaro style sportster. Dont forget to add your contact info in case they want to add your bike to their story. Good Luck and keep us posted.

bike looks great but a couple of things still need to be done to be mag worthy...unless your just trying to get into the "readers rides" section which i can see happening with your bike the way it is.

what i would do...just my personal opinion
1. get matching rims...something unique...spokes are everywhere...i hate my spokes
2. change the pipes (thats coming up next on my bike)
3. chop the rear and integrate your tail lights
4. either black out everything or chrome everything. Youve got black bars with chrome accessories and grips...

and thats it. I love the color of the bike and the tank. i think youve done a whole lot since the before pics and the bike looks totally different and its very very nice. magazines are picky though...bastards

Your scoot is nice, no doubt. But it may not be magazine ready as-is. Remember, we all think our "sweat equity" makes a bike cooler than most casual viewers.

Still...good work, this.
