Thumbs up Custom?? what do you think

I have spent a lot of hours working on my bike, changing my bars, changing switches puting on the bags and even taking stuff off of the bike to send it out to get powder coated...what do you guys think of how its starting to look it was an 883 custom when i got it but i didnt like the look of it ...i was thinking maybe a black springer front end or a wide glide from end with a king penut gas tank any ideas
