Default Going for a Retro look.
I have spent a few dollars on chrome and accessories to personalize my bike to my personality and taste. I like a modern retro style so this is where I am so far. A have several more things to get but I gotta save up more MAD money.

Nope. It is a factory HD 2 up seat courtesy of Ebay.

Good job. I hope you like your passenger sitting on the fender because that's not a two up seat, you must have a passenger pad?

Your bike looks great! I'm not sure how bikes align with personality, but I guess mine would be solid beige.

Lookin' good. You need a nice low Corbin solo to bring out the Retro look. Nice job though.
