Ha ha! Thanks!

I'd be cool with that if I came across some cool parts at a swap meet or something but other than that, I don't want it to look like a dolled up "theme" bike. This is my F-U to catalogue "built" bikes.

Lol, it's not mine...I like the carb set up but 5 grand just for an intake and carbs seems a bit ridiculous to me. It's what supports my bike fund so I don't offer my opinion. If he wanted a big yellow stripe on it I wouldn't say a word.
