Thanks for the honesty.

Understood … I had my budget build Sporty in mind for years before snagging the right bike and pulling it apart last fall. Not sure that I will ever be done with this bike. I’m having too much fun messing with it to finish and just leave her alone.

What about doing the fender to match the tank?
And I'm not knocking your work or your taste. You've done more to your ride than half of the people on here will ever do. I simply think that there is something missing. Something simple and small to pull it all together, that's all. Regardless, as always, good job!

-maybe the tank needs to match the fender-

I think its cause he doesnt have side covers on lol

The bike looks effin sick though. I would take pictures of it if I saw it in a random place thats for sure.

I agree, but, if you look at all of the transformations the thing has been thru, they all look complete, all look tied together, no unfinished look, IMO. Not this version. Just sayin'. Not that my opinion could buy you a cup of coffee.

Like it a lot man. I really like the contrast of the bare fender especially once it rusts a little throw some clear on it bam! I've been contemplating doing it for a few year now to my tins because I'm tired of scratching the paint and think it looks bad ***. Maybe this winter I'll break out the SOS pads....

Now we are talking...very nice job...I agree I love this version of your bike. I think you've inspired me to sand mine down to the bare metal..I think it looks great.
