Default Newly Modified 12 Sharknose

Ok so had a wreck on the scoot back at end of January that was pretty severe. I was unconscious for 45mins before i came to and hit last number redial, broke wrist in two places and and severe concussion. So it took the shop about 12 weeks to fix everything and wow how was it ever worth it. Here are some pictures from ThunderBeach and picking it up from the shop. It started its life out as Black Denim now its a Candy Orange w/ black old school pinstriping, some factory pinstripes done in Black and the Harley Davidson written out in black. I put KST 11" bars on Black Powder Coated, dash, and Gloss Black inner fairing and the rest you can pretty well see too.. I left enough contrasting parts to break up all the black and really fell in love with the way it turned out. What do you guys think? You can tell the different shades it looks by the shop lights versus the outside sun.

Wow.
Love to see a "before" pic. Now you have to change your sig... no more black denim.

Turned out awesome, and very different sun vs. outside. Gotta love cameras and how they handle light, huh?
Glad it all turned out so well for you.
