IMO of course, NEEDS the wire tuck and coil / key relocate and a tank lift delete. Sticks way too far up there with the clip-ons. On the 48 I don't think you need the lift to do a wire tuck. Also needs more fender chop and reflector / tab delete. +1 on the Night Train taillight stand-offs. Looks killer!

We are all copy cats. I admire the first guys to chop and bob there bikes, must have been a pretty cool time to be a biker. most ideas today have already been done to some degree by someone before.

True, I didnt have any original ideas on my bike. But mines a 48 in a green military theme that should be ready next week. Just strange that their SO similar.

Hey just cause it s been done before doesn't mean its not worth doing again. I see great ideas all the time some seem original in nature , some are a spin off of what has been done before . I find it all very inspiring and the results are usually pretty cool. Post pics when you get your bike done. id love to see how it turns out.
