    Well, it's been about a year since I've had this bike and I have replaced the coils, started painting the engine but ran out of paint...., replaced the headers and mufflers and completely overhauled the carbs and now she hauls ass.
    Still to do, replace the back tire and front forks. I'm going to try and black out as much chrome as I can, I don't like chrome that much.
    What do you guys think? I also need to replace the seat and paint the side covers and gas tank.

    I think you have got the right ballance of black / chrome, the bike looks stunning. Good work.

    Looking good. Have you thought about painting the carb hats?

    I would but they have been powder coated and I feel I'd be pissing away that money so to speak. It's always something you think of after the fact. I should've had them coated black.....
