I'm not too sure if there are too many wires showing. I know I have to change one of the coil wires so it's not so long but I'll do that later. It's a 2" tank lift

Hate extra space between the engine and the tank so I would think it looks horrible, but who cares it is your bike. If you need to go and ask others if they like it or you need to make changes, maybe you shouldn't have done it in the first place.....If you like it how it is then leave it, if you don't change it. I can see asking for opinions but not asking for the sake of changing the work I did to make it the way i supposedly want it.

As for asking for opinion, I do it all the time. What I see isn't always what everyone else seems, we are prejudiced by having done our own work. I find it very helpful to see through others' eyes - so fug joel and his opinion.

I like the tank lift from what I can see, dork, my mom knows how to upload pics.
