Default I'm back!... with photos :)
Hey guys. I joined this forum back at the end of last summer when I was buying an 883 Iron. I read up a lot on the forum, asked a few questions, and got a lot of info. So, thanks!

That being said, the minute I got the bike, I wanted to turn it into an "American Cafe Racer" or "Cafe Sportster." So, I worked on it all winter. This is what I got. Thoughts? suggestions?
