Thank you, gentlemen. Yes, it's getting late. I am aware. But just so you know, I did get out for a short ride on Saturday, just not on my Nightster. Ozzie practically forced me to take the KZ-750 for a ride. I don't normally ride someone else's bike but I am desperate and the weather was beautiful I got the feeling he wanted me out of the shop for awhile, so I went for a ride. Enjoyed the hell out of it to.

This is the bike he is eventually gonna do a fat front end on...he has the forks and wheel/tire and all the parts, just no time to do it because he spends all his free time working on this "Winter Makeover".

Awesome work, looking forward to the finished product..

Thank you HF. After all this work, blood, sweat and tears (yes, I have shed some blood on this thing) I won't be selling it any time soon.

I don't know if I'd be able to forget about that fenderless rear tire a few inches from my butt...

I've determined that the 48 is what I want to start out with for my platform. Even though you have the Nightster, a lot of what your doing is what I want my bike to encompass. I've only made it through a 1/4 of this thread so far, spent the last couple hours reading and staring at the photos, and It's amazing. I've already learned a lot, and I'm enjoying the hell out the progress. I'll be caught up within a day or two, but wanted to say thanks for the inspiration.
