Looked good before and looks good now, I love the seat you have now and I have to say the yellow tank and black fenders look cool for some reason LOL! The overall look of the bike is killer.

I agree with him. But it aint our bike. So if its the look you were wanting then that's what counts.

Oh, and for the record, no Harley is ever "complete".

chevy94ss- yes its a 21" front and 18x5.5 rear with a 180 tire.

voony- it looks nice and all but it has almost gotten me killed three times. i got a stocker coming, its just to small it barely lights up the road.

docholiday06- i dont know the fender but ill tell you its on backwards, and they are stock harley, the bike was a custom.

beanoboy/sgtskiddz- i can respect that but i was having major problems with the tank, full of rust. so i went back to factory reliability with stock tank. and im mostly talking about the style setup(bobber look) i hate calling that!

xl50#674- yeah i was gonna have the rest of the bike painted that yellow but no one can tell me about the color. harley davidson said it was a custom paintshop color and he cant pull a code for it.

nice looking bike , good pics , , the yellow tank looks really cool , a good spray shop should be able to match the colour near enough , its not going to be touching the matched colours , so it shouldnt be a major problem . good luck

Man, that is just plain the best bike I have seen over here. Looks good from every angle, very rideable, custom look. Really good job!!! Usually I am not real big on wraped pipes but yours with the tips fit right in.

The harley color on mine is pearl yellow. Again very nice. J.
