At first I was confused. But, When you posted the long range view. I said ok. Looks Good. A 20/20 bike. 20 feet away at 20 miles per hour the ignorant would think WOW a Panhead. Nothing like the real thing. Which I have owned for 44 years,

I pulled up behind a Ford Taurus the other day that had BMW badging on the trunk. I live in a college town and you're likely to see anything. We also have a Batmobile. LOL!
As to the original subject of this post.............I like it!

It's definitely an interesting looking bike. Not for me, but it's all about making your bike your's. It did kinda grow on me. Ya did a fine job on it! Bet it took a while to get it all to look "right".
