Yeah for sure! That thing has to be blinding. It's not all that far from where I live, but don't have time to go look at it just to see it.

What I find most interesting is that its a BT bike with a sporty motor...an 883 sporty motor...I've never seen that before...now the chrome on the other hand. I've ridden with a guy that has a v-rod thats totally chromed like that..it looks cool but its blinding!

Chopper Dave's x-wedge powered "Secret Weapon" had a polished tank. It's a killer look if it works with the rest of the bike. I'm not sure that this one does it for me...
