Not a fan, not at all. What were you thinking. I can't pinpoint just one thing, it's all bad. I feel bad for you, so I will do you a favour and I will take it off your hands if you want to sell it.

Just kidding, great job, it looks fantastic.

HAHA you are so right. I am waiting to get it to the pin stripper and am going to replace the wind shield, passenger floorboards and seat as soon as I can stash away some more cash. But for now, I am pleased with the out come!

Are those the Arlen ness four point mirrors? How do you like them? Visibility, vibration?
I'm tossing around between these and the mini ovals...

Nice job, but.......you need to powder coat the highway pegs and mounts. I can live with the chrome exhaust, but IMO the highway pegs look out of place.

Love the wheels, again good job

They are Arlen Ness. I was worried about how well I would be able to see but I have plenty of visibility and no vibration.

I agree. I put them on to see if I would like them being chrome. I am still trying to figure out if I want to powder coat the heat shields.

I wanted to try to keep a very little chrome just to keep it from being just another blacked out bike.
