Looks good, yes. It's nowhere near a cafč racer.
OP, RAT RACER FTW! That's very cool what you did with the tank. How did you seal it? Clear coat?

Yeah I was gonna clear coat it myself with a spray can, but I opted to have it done professionally. It only cost me 45$. Plus the look on the guys face when he saw what I had done to the tank was pretty sweet.
I know about the headlight, its pretty much horizontal. I made my own bracket which also houses the dummy lights. I'd take a closer pic, but I'm not 100% satisfied with my work! I just wanted to get the bike on the road instead of spending another few days messing around with that. Oh and I was also making my own seat, and same thing. I dont have a welder or drill press, so working with the gauge steel I have is a bit of a @#@tch.
Anyways thanks guys. Next winter is actual performance mods... $$$$

You should trim down your timing cover and maybe look into a 2-1 pipe setup...that thing's pretty cool.

I would say it's on it's way to becoming one bad*** cafe. I like the setup you got going on behind the seat. Ditching that stock seat is a must though. Looking forward to seeing your custom work. Good luck!
